I became aware of this movement today, as they yesterday blockaded 5 of London’s bridges.

I read that it started with the signatures of around 100 academics on the 26th of October.

This is the original “position paper” of the organization/rebellion:
https://theecologist.org/2018/aug/23/extinction-rebellion-diary-1-so-it-has-come

By Rogar Hallam from the 23rd of August of this year. He is a professional radical activist.

Roger Hallam is co-founder of the Radical Think Tank. His PhD studies looked at protest movements and revolutionary campaigns and what factors make them successful.

After several practical campaigns, including wins for precarious workers, a student rent strike, and a divestment campaign at Kings College London, he is turning his hand to climate change.

In this lecture, delivered at KCL in April, he first outlines the bleak current scientific thinking on man-made climate change, then presents the results of his campaigning research, and finally invites people to join a massive civil disobedience movement to force real change and quite possibly save mankind.

This is their symbol:

Last week the US politician Bernie Sanders posted a link to an article supporting Extinction Rebellion, civil disobedience and the wider anti-fracking campaign to his 7.5 million followers. Hallam said the group was in talks with campaigners in the US about organising similar Extinction Rebellion events in Washington DC next month.

These dumb Cucks should be protesting the extinction of their race and culture.

I think the opposite is the purpose!

Two points:

1) when these fucks stop using hydrocarbon fuels in any manner, but, especially, jet fuel, I'll start listening;

2) if these fucks have their way - a massive reduction in "carbon emissions" via elimination of most industrial agriculture - they'll see the extinction of billions of humanoids on Earth from starvation. They don't seem to "get" that. Solar panels and windmills aren't going to make-up for the gas and diesel used for the food production which makes possible 7+ billion humanoids.

I thought you understood they are our overlords* and therefore they are exempt.

*clearly they are our overlords due to their wealth and (extremely) inordinate amount of influence over perception management - have some respect for our betters!
