How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
You obviously fail to grasp the meta irony …
Extinction Rebellion

- Start date
And that's all I have to say for now.
Although, I'd already stopped posting ages ago, long before this nonsense.

He's got nothing against young people. That's complete bollocks. He actually said in a previous vid that people should support the kids on these demos - but he was hoping it wouldn't be the pile of wank that it's turned out to be.
Ciao for now.

Hang on; you wrote :

Decolonise colons!
The whining about protests resembling a party is very Daily Mail c. 1996.

Why the fuck shouldn't a protest resemble a party?
Why shouldn't meaningful action be done instead? Especially when you have the numbers and resources that XR do.
What are Extinction Rebellion actually achieving?
Why? What is the point of them?
They seem to be a waste of time, effort and money to me.

What kind of 'meaningful action' would you suggest then?
Sit in your bedroom making shitty moaning videos like your stay at home hero?

If you actually listened to Martin you'd have heard him say he went down to the protests. But you don't really do listening.

Excellent training for the cops
How so?
What, for example, is his suggestion in respect of climate change?

I didn't ask what he watched. I asked what actions he actually did himself. Try reading before engaging smart arse mode next time.

I said nothing of what he watched
you talked of making videos like your stay at home hero. Martin, the man in the video, did not stay at home. So ffs think before you post.

Because it might encourage people to feel happiness, optimism and togetherness, and also risks engaging new people with the cause and persuading them to join in with future actions. Everyone knows the purpose of protest is to make sure that the bleakness of life is emphasised to put off as many people from possible from joining and ensure that those taking part can go home knowing they have suffered and are therefore better than other people. Ideally a protest is half a dozen people listening to each other make 45 minute long speeches about the minor details something that happened over a century ago whilst selling newspapers they all have already read to each other. In the rain. If anyone new happened to come along they should be well and truly seen off.
Because you believe in the system. You think the red tories are better than the blue.
Well if you paid attention to this thread you'd notice that I think that actions against the financial sector and in the financial district are worthwhile.
And I also asked people on here what they think of the idea of blockading oil refineries.
You said he doesn't offer an alternative. That is false. Martin has spoken about the need for popular assemblies and building our own structures on his channel plenty of times.
But you're clearly not interested in that and would rather vote labour, or try and build up some trot party or something.

Exasperated, not angry.
what a tedious collation of cliches. Everything he criticises them for could just as easily be thrown back at him. Well, except for the bits about XR being fun.

Not really, a few probationers might get something out of it given the lack of football policing these days but not much else, perhaps a chance for a new silver to realise that even a relatively good command and control system is never a match for distributed decision making against a broad strategic aim, but most know that by now and go with the flow. Most old bill lock on teams will have seen it all before, although the transportable concrete two person jobs inside wheelie suitcases were a pretty nifty idea. Otherwise just an opportunity for bored rozzers to stand around Covent Garden and the city listening to Samba bands and whinging about the lack of bank holiday overtime.

So how many popular assemblies has he participated in, roughly how many people were engaged and what where the deliverables?
Likewise, broadly so as not to damage security, how has he contributed to building structures, roughly how many are involved and again, what have the deliverables been so far and what are planned for the mid term?
I don't know what you mean by 'believe in the system', can you unpack that?
I think it stands to reason that the current Labour party, whom I do not support objectively, would be better for the working class than this Tory shitshow. Can you provide a counter argument?
I said that I haven't heard him provide one. If he has then you are welcome to correct me.
However you seem to be intent on straw manning me for some reason.
That aside, if he has advocated those things then can youe xplain how we would do that. For instance, can you define what 'building our own structures' means? What sort of structures and how do you envision they would operate?
You would have to ask him what he's been involved with over the years.
But I know he's been involved with Class War, Movement Against the Monarchy and militant anti-fascism and other stuff.

And you're wrong. And that post of yours speaks volumes about you.
The Labour Party have waived through every heinous tory bill going in parliament.
And here, read this: Labouring in vain: a critical history of the Labour Party

This appeal is addressed to the young and the not so young. It is aimed at those who have joined the Labour Party over the last four years on the Corbynist wave, who are now thinking of leaving it or have already left. It is addressed to those who have mobilised around the environment and have...

Every time the Labour Party have got in they've attacked working class living standards, and strikers.

Tbh I would prefer if you outlined the views expressed and elaborated on bits that you thought were valuable (or not) and why, basically because I hate watching YouTube pieces to camera.

"Old bloke reads something he's written about the trouble with the youth of today whilst not looking at the camera and wearing a hat indoors to show his radicalism or something."
My reflections on this were outlined in the still from the Simpsons I posted earlier, to wit, "Old man yells at cloud".

Also he's not even here. Or if he is he's keeping quiet about it. If you can't argue with somebody about what they've posted I don't see the point of the internet.
