When I see the aggressively religious people hollering at passers by and stalking the Abortion clinic in this neighbourhood and they totally ignore the people in need around them....

In lieu of 'Journalists', I've had Mastodon inform me of the Just Stop Oil / Landed Gentry connection which seems to be baffling us.
Roger Hallam owns a farm, he's one of them!

And how much economic damage is from climate change and pollution from #FossilFuels? #BigOil is the real criminal here!
#ClimateProtesters are taking action against Big Oil. UK courts are handing them prison terms akin to rapists and thieves
By Kara Fox, CNN
September 14, 2024London CNN — "As #RightWing rioters attacked communities with #racist violence across parts of the UK last month, 22-year-old #ClimateActivist #CressieGethin sat in a prison cell.
"Her crime? Organizing a disruptive protest against new government-granted licenses to drill for oil — a planet-heating #FossilFuel — in the #NorthSea.
"In late July, a London court found #Gethin and four other members of the #JustStopOil activist group guilty of 'conspiring intentionally to cause a #PublicNuisance,' after recruiting protesters to climb structures along the M25 — a major ring road around London — bringing traffic to a standstill in parts over four days in November 2022.
"Prosecutors alleged that the protests, organized over a #ZoomCall, disrupted more than 700,000 drivers, caused economic damage of over £760,000 ($980,000) and racked up £1 million ($1.3m) in policing costs.
"Now Gethin and three others — Louise Lancaster, #DanielShaw and #LuciaWhittakerDeAbreu, who planned the disruption on the call — are serving four-year jail terms, while Just Stop Oil co-founder #RogerHallam was given five years. All are appealing.
"The sentences are believed to be the longest in the UK’s history for #nonviolent protest and were delivered under two new controversial laws that supercharged #policing powers to crack down on disruptive protests, even when they are peaceful.
"They place the act of planning a 'public nuisance' event, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, on a similar footing as #ViolentCrimes like robbery, for which punishments range from community service to 12 years’ jail, or rape, which is four to 19 years.
"The judge — who in court referred to the activists as '#extremists' — justified the long jail terms because all five activists had previously been convicted of one or more offenses in relation to direct action protest. Each were on bail for another set of proceedings when the Zoom call took place. He also noted people missed important doctor’s visits and funerals because of the protest.
"But activists like Gethin say their demonstrations are proportionate to the problem at hand — a rapidly warming world that threatens to transform life as we know it, through deadly #ExtremeWeather events and by pushing #ecosystems to their brinks. They are now battling the bolstered powers of the #police and courts to get their point across.
“'A very harsh sentence like this doesn’t make sense morally or legally — but it does make sense politically,' Gethin told CNN in a handwritten letter from HMP Bronzefield, a women’s prison just south of London’s Heathrow Airport.
"The laws have drawn criticism from the UN’s special rapporteur on #EnvironmentalDefenders, #MichaelForst, who said not only do they criminalize peaceful protest, but they are being enforced in 'punitive and repressive' ways."

Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil founder Roger Hallam absolutely nails it (pricks it?) on the power of and need for nonviolence.

Leider musste ich feststellen, dass bei der @AufstandLastGen beunruhigende und abschreckende Zustände im Hintergrund herrschen. Klimaschutz ist für mich das wichtigste Thema unserer Zeit, aber Grundwerte sind nicht verhandelbar.

activist from XR got released yesterday, after 55 days in prison.
He was released, without the police being able to find out his identity.Reason for the arrest:
he was blocking a street with a lock-on during the "rebellion week" in #Berlin.
https://www.neues-deutschland.de/artikel/1129517.extinction-rebellion-klimaaktivist-nach-tagen-aus-haft-entlassen.htmlOne of the founders of #ExtinctionRebellion #RogerHallam, claims that being arrested is the most effective thing to bring social change, within XR germany there is currently a big debate on how (but also if) to take distance from Roger.
What is more effective then 55 days in prision?
55 days long blocking, it's just that we mostly can't, because the #police comes to arrest us.being imprisoned isn't something great to archive, it's a price many of us pay for what we do.

CW: XR, neue infos zu deren struktureller Holocaustrelativierung
Nachtrag zu XR und systematische Holocaustrelativierung:
(interne XR Debatte und die Forderung nach Holocaustrelativierung )
Kurz nach den Interviews durch #RogerHallam die enorme Kritik gegen XR zu Folge hatte, versuchte XR sich nach außen hin als nun distanziert davon zu präsentieren.
Verschwiegen wurde dabei, dass intern eine intensive Debatte geführt wird, die sich sogar damit beschäftigt ob die Holocaustrelativierung nicht sogar richtig sei. #hambibleibt hatte hier darüber berichtet:
https://todon.nl/@hambibleibt/103192927409865784Das dort benannte bestätigt sich gerade in einer weiterführenden internen Debatte von XR.
Darin werden die Presseteams kritisiert, dass sie versuchen eine Meinung von XR zu präsentieren, die aber gar nicht Konsens ist. Es wird sogar gefordert, dass Holocaustrelativierung Platz in der Kommunikation nach außen finden sollte.
...und auch deswegen bleibt meine Aussage, dass XR strukturelle Holocaustrelativierung betreibt.
(die Informationen sind öffentlich einsehbar, im internen forum von #XR)
#extinctionRebellion -
> aber mehrheitlich steht XR Deutschland klar hinter der Distanzierung, und XR Köln sowieso.
#TinoPfaff (Presseperson von XR_DE) bedient sich dem von #RogerHallam inszenierte Skript der Holocaustrelativierung.
Hier ein Thread dazu:
https://twitter.com/Alert4_Alert4/status/1199077750121934849Wer ist denn dieses mehrheitlich, wenn selbst eurer Pressesprecher dies nicht tun, und mehrere XR Gruppen Tino zustimmen?

@xrcologne
auch ist es wichtig anzumerken, dass sich innerhalb XR viele mit #RogerHallam solidarisierten/solidarisieren.
Nach außen wurde dies kleingeredet wenn Kritik kam, bzw. ganz verschwiegen.Das ist kein ehrlicher Umgang, aber Imageschutz.

Can someone reffer me to a critique of the book from #RogerHallam "common sense..."
It describes core strategies and ideology of #XR, and the few parts that I read from it are deeply troubeling.

CW: extinction Rebellion, relativising the holocaust
#RogerHallam a founder of #ExtinctionRebellion relativised the #holocaust, claiming it to be "just another fuckery in human history".
Multible XR groups decided to openly distance themself from Hallam in response.
What remains:
Roger Hallam has been/is? leader in creating XR's strategy and ideology. Distancing oneself from him will not lead to change how Roger and fellows designed XR.Roger also claims:
- Pacifism is the most effective tool (based on historic revisionism and other forms of manipulation) and that XR should spread such permanently through all channels
- police are among the best allies
- being imprisoned by the police is the best one can do against climatecrisis
- vegans, intersectionalists and the left are threat to climatejustice
- we should not publicly outcall people for bad behaviour and should shut down those that do
- we should empathize to embed nationalist and conservative ideology to our movments
- ...Roger has been spreading a lot of nonsense. #XR adopted most of it, happily not all of it.
-
@[email protected] explicitly distances itself from #RogerHallam & his statements relativizing the Holocaust. The systemic annihilation of millions can & must not be downplayed or normalized. Never. We have zero tolerance for anti-Semitism. #ExtinctionRebellion
-
#ExtinctionRebellion leader #RogerHallam says basicly from the inside of the prison:
If you do something that is ilegal, make shure that the police can arrest you because it is the most effective thing we can do.
This is part of their core strategy and ideology that every local XR group has adopted, at least I'm not aware of exceptions.
Reason why XR fellows believe in it:
XR created Narratives that:
- make effectivness and public support to be the same thing
- make resieving repression to be the same as resieving public support -
"Gründer von #ExtinctionRebellion #RogerHallam sieht in der durchgängigen Verwendung rechter Begriffe wie "Ehre", "Tradition" und "Nation" eine große Chance für XR, Unterstützung von rechts zu organisieren. Diese Bewegung ist Querfrontabfall."
