as we know, not enough people are agitated and so all the past “educate” made by scientists has been pretty much useless
we need to raise the tension then
to raise the tension in a system where power lies in the hands of those that don’t want the tension, you need to force it
to force it without power, you have very little range of options
these actions are discussed a lot also out of the conscious-about-climate-people bubble
so it’s basically stealing time and cognitive energy from the shit media to this shit actions
the models of the past that worked better are the one for the workers rights and the one for the black people civil rights
in both cases, there was a whole ecology of actions: violent protests, disobedience, non violent marches, super far left parties, more moderate parties and so on.
they are a functional part of our ecology that is forcing the media to ring some bells
Here in Italy, they recently received a meeting with the climate minister, for example. No association could have that.
An impactful and radical change requires a whole ecology of movements with different strategies and tactics. Unless you have power in the system you are trying to change, obv.
What I’m seeing is a minister met with Greta Thurnberg. She’s a celebrity who gives talks on actual environmental issues. This is effective because it’s explicitly about the environment.
I’m not aware of situations where people inconveniencing each other (but NOT inconveniencing power) led to meaningful change. Civil rights activists inconvenienced power, not each other.
Are you sure that black panthers or red brigades inconvenienced only those in power? Btw I was not talking about Greta Thunberg but Ultima Generazione, the Italian chapter of Just Stop Oil. Yes, the ones that put cleanable paint over stuff or block the roads
I’ll try to sum it up in a pointed list.

This is an actual response, thanks.

Blocking roads is related to the climate crisis. This makes perfect sense.
