Sadly you are wrong. Extinction Rebellion isn't called a rebellion to make friends. It is the start of a movement. If that moment gains enough momentum it will have a very profound impact on the political landscape.
As I am sure you know climate change is the biggest threat our species has ever faced.
I am sure you also know it wasn't discussed in parliament for two years, and the prompt that got it discussed was the school kids going on strike.
I am fairly certain it will be a fixture on the political landscape from now on.
I met a few people like you over the last few days. I met a lot more who are now activists who never would have been before we rocked up in our tents.
And I can reassure you this is not middle class metropolitan. I have been there, I know who I sat with on the road blocks, I know who I banged drums with.
And so what if it's a bit alarmist. What if we reduce the plastics, slow down the rate at which things go extinct, reduce the impact of flooding droughts storms and heatwaves.
Give me a break from your apathy. Go along and see for yourself instead of closing your mind completely.
(and btw, I find it much harder to take you seriously with all the spelling mistakes, it is well worth re reading your posts before you hit "post reply")
