Just as the anti militarist argument is most convincing when made by a SAS soldier like Ben Griffin I think climate change direct action is more powerful when made by scientists...

And the argument against capital punishment most persuasive when made by a murderer I suppose

Cross-posted from the direct action thread in Climate change: For all their efforts it went almost completely unreported by major media outlets and in LA was overwhelmingly crushed by the filth. Capital doesn't like it when well-informed people take a stand:

Climate scientists are desperate: we’re crying, begging and getting arrested | Peter Kalmus
On Wednesday, I was arrested for locking myself onto an entrance to the JP Morgan Chase building in downtown LA. I can’t stand by – and nor should you

The problem with this sort of protest is it relies for its effect on media reporting. And as you say this went widely unnoticed

no, in that case it would be by the victim/family of someone whose crime lead to the death penalty

Yeh I'm not sure you know what militarism is, war, war is the continuation of politics by other means, where I've encountered militarism, militarists it's been in opposition to people who believe in a political solution to an issue among eg the IRA. It is however a beautiful day. Just a shame I'll spend the afternoon indoors. Lovely here in Sydenham tho

I rarely tweet, no matter what the prococation, but I have 21 likes (so far) for my derisory reply to that on Twitter.
My previous best was 7 likes for a video of a WCFC penalty.

Wearing a lab coat doesn't make someone a scientist and it isn't illegal to tell someone you're a scientist no matter what you do. Plus what sort of scientist? climatologist? physicist? I know people who mix homeopathic 'remedies' who claim they're scientists.

If I was to glue my hands to something it'd probably be the first cop van that arrived to take people away

I think it's better that people are doing something to try to keep the climate change and collapse issues in the publics awareness.
Extinction Rebellion are being treated now as just another protest issue group so organising a week of events is a huge undertaking, and one they seem to be succeeding at.
The reality of climate change is frightening and will cause much upheaval for humanity.

Well either they're talking shite like the freedom twats, or they're not, in which case, they're doing more than I am.

I took my photos at 11.40. Shortly after the arrived but before some of them glued their hands to the window.
It was well organised protest.
With XR people giving out leaflets and explaining to passers Bay what this protest was about.
Given the loads of cops around Central London its good effort by XR to make this happen.
Their were van loads of cops onsite. But given the well dressed people in lab coats they looked bemused at what to do about it.
Inventive protesting by XR.

To be fair, even I'd be freaked out by the sight of that many animals with a cunt up their back.

Yeah you really need to have a long career of slaughtering people before you can figure out that it's bad.

I suspect it may be a tad more nuanced than that. Unless you are a pacifist then anti military arguments probably extend beyond anti slaughter aspects.
