@fulelo #Navalny is perfectly right that "Russia is not an exception". These are exactly the same tactics as are being used against #InsulateBritain and #JustStopOil protesters here in the UK.

The UK may be a little less far along the descent into corruption than Russia, but only a little less far.

@adamgreenfield @Eceni I'm in agreement here. The state will not, contra Marx, 'naturally wither away'. Rather, it will resist its dismantling with coercion, violence and oppression. We already see this in the draconian treatment of #InsulateBritain and #JustStopOil.

The good society has to emerge from seeds within nation states, but at some stage it has to break with it; and how that can be done without violence needs careful thought.

@epistatacadam
So, #InsulateBritain was right ? And shouldn't be jailed for demaing that happens ?

"Häiritsevä mielenosoittaminen on hyödyllistä, ei haitallista, aktivistien ajamalle asialle"

"Protesteilla on kaksi kärkeä: ensimmäinen on häiritsevyys, mutta toinen on dialogi, vuoropuhelu."

...Tiesitkö että #JustStopOil on viimeisten 3 kk aikana järjestänyt lähes päivittäin Lontoossa liikennettä häiritsevän mielenosoituksen? Sen lisäksi he ovat häirinneet mm. urheilutapahtumia ja häitä. 💪💪💪

@will_shake I think the impact isn't as visible, as it's about building connections. The almost total lack of UK mainstream media coverage will spur people to join campaigns like #JustStopOil & #InsulateBritain, unless XR pivot back to disruptive action https://extinctionrebellion.uk/2023/04/18/the-big-one-will-extinction-rebellion-be-forced-to-unquit/

They’re locking-up vicars now: Shock as elderly #InsulateBritain protester JAILED https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/insulate-britain-arrests-protest-vicar-mark-coleman-347206/

On the same leaflet, #WoodlandTrust say

“#ClimateChange is causing spring to arrive on average 8.4 days early. It’s imperative that we get a grip on the #ClimateCrisis and keep temperatures down, and healthy, thriving, abundant woods and trees are one of the best ways we can do that.”

I would also add #SystemChange, #JustStopOil, #InsulateBritain and #UniversalBasicIncome #UBI !!

The government’s plan to spend around 1% of what’s required over the next 10 years to #InsulateBritain is an amazing contribution to the future of this country and we’re so grateful to @RishiSunak for driving the policy change required.

🚨 BREAKING: INSULATE BRITAIN SUPPORTER TELLS THE WHOLE TRUTH IN COURT KNOWING SHE COULD RISK PRISON TIME FOR DOING SO

“I feel I acted with care when our politicians do not care: letting thousands die each winter from the cold..."

The #ClimateCrisis is the biggest issue facing our #planet - I've used my hands-on experience & knowledge of #nuclear #physics & #atmospheric #chemistry to argue for genuinely pragmatic, cost-effective and valid #policy

However, like #Alba with #Independence - #InsulateBritain & #ThisIsRigged have done SO MUCH DAMAGE to climate policy & action.

Everytime you disrupt ScotParl or WorkingClass people over #Westminster #politicians you drive up support for anti-green politics!

Day 3 of our trial for an #InsulateBritain protest. The phrases that come to mind are “Fiddling while Rome burns”, and “The banality of evil.” Everyone in the court knows who are the real criminals who should be in the dock, but the bureaucracy of business-as-usual prevails.

Looks like more venal wickedness coming up from the UK Government, if reports are to be believed

It appears that they are quite happy to bugger the planet and everyone and every living thing on it (apologies for the language but I am beyond furious)so long as they can keep the gravy-train running for their mates

And... it turns out I'm going nowhere. Officially because the judge has Covid, this week's #InsulateBritain hearing is cancelled; new trial unlikely before November.

I'm wondering to what extent the fact that the jury failed to reach a verdict in the last Insulate Britain trial affected the decision to cancel.

Beeindruckend, wofür sich die Leute in UK auf der Straße kleben: #InsulateBritain ! Dort gibt es massive Probleme mit dem ungedämmten Gebäudebestand, viele Tausende sterben, weil bei ihnen Zuhause zu kalt ist. Während die deutsche Luxusdiskussion sich um #Waermepumpen dreht. #BauwendeJetzt https://insulatebritain.com
