Extinction rebellion

Who buys newspapers these days? It's all online.

 

This ‘Free Press’ thing. It sounds great.

If only we had it.

 

Whatever Tony. You carry on worrying about them big bad wolves out to get you. I’ll be fine.

 

Meanwhile, under cover of the pandemic, Cummings and Gove are quietly handing out government functions to their billionaire friends, privatising the NHS by stealth, bypassing parliamentary scrutiny, centralising everything and attempting to destroy the neutrality of our judiciary and civil service. And everybody is standing by and doing nothing. These people are a much greater threat to our democracy, and will eventually lead us to far more chaos and civil unrest, than Extinction Rebellion.

 

I'm not sure i've known society like it currently sits. Feells like there is a deliberate attempt to start a war amongst each other, the old divide and conquer rearing its head. There a big international players pushing agendas and the ones suffering are at the bottom. Feels surreal but also worrying.

 

What? You mean he's already done it?

 

So we mustn't stand by and do nothing. Good advice. Extinction rebellion should carry on then. Tony says you have to stand up for what you believe in.

 

A free country with the right to protest. What a horrible place to live

 

all the problems in the world and some tree huggers inconveniencing multimillion pound newspapers is what gets your back up

 

Its clear there's big backers at play with this extinction rebellion, its too well organised to be some off their tits hippies. The movement has always been there under the surface but have used the back of the black lives matter protests as a vehicle to step up their campaigns. The environment angle is just a smoke screen, its primarily aimed at capitalism. Probably an meritable argument there somewhere, but also a lot of hypocrisy. As with the black lives matter i'm not sure which side of the debate i'm on. Too many hidden agendas amongst what seems on the surface well meaning protests.

 

Extinction rebellion have a point but to go all greenpeace about it is not helping.

I think they are being reclassified as an organised crime unit by the Government. I guess that will allow the Police to wade in and beat the shit out of them for blocking the street etc.

 

Don't be disingenuous you just don't like people you perceive to be lefties. You don't really care about anyone selling newspapers its just a good excuse to wind yourself up and fume a bit.

Yes that's the entire point of the protests, to be disruptive so that people take notice of the issues around climate change. i think there's probably better ways of doing things but I completely understand the logic
