Da ich Aussagen wie "ich teile eure Ziele, aber lehne eure Methoden ab, deshalb arbeite ich nicht mit euch zusammen" jetzt schon öfter gelesen habe: Während der Proteste in Hong Kong 2019-20 war "Do not split", also #DiversityOfTactis, ein zentrales Prinzip, um die Schwächen friedlichen Protestes zu überwinden, ohne in Militanz als Selbstzweck zu verfallen.

Für eine fantastische Zusammenfassung empfehle ich Katharina Tais Vortrag beim 36C3:

@xrcologne
do mean that your local #XR is for diversity of tactics or that XR in general is?

About your local group you will know better then I do, and I'm not judging on that in particular.

On XR in general, what I'm observing is:
- groups that mostly follow the lead of XR UK
- most groups having adopted the same ideology, strategy, out reach comunication...and so forth
- pushing strongly on the idea that non-violence is the best of all strategies and that this should be the only strategy being used
- pushing the idea that actions that are not non-violence should not be supported as it leads to failure
- pushing against ideas that opose this statement
- everyone using the same debunked study of #EricaChenoweth etc.

...by that being against #diversityoftactis

At one point in time, police might push you to be more criminalized. I fear that XR will respond with something like:
"we are not the criminal ones, we are the good citizens, look those are the criminal ones."

And that's not only a possible future cenario, #RogerHallam did this already.
