Roger Hallam 'I'm in prison, it's not a big deal...' Extinction Rebellion 

B - Rodger has never been a farmer, he lacks the skills and work ethic - being lazy and something of a bullshitter, he’s now accepting charity from Agenda 30 devotees!

I doubt the governments of the world will ever do enough until we take the lead. Governments always follow. They never lead. Hardly ever, anyway.

Robert Howes “We” really has to be a very large constituency though. If by “we” you mean hardcore activists I fear that the corporate elites who run the show will simply marginalise and isolate them.

XR do have some things, such as citizen's assemblies. i was pleased to see the lib dems state they would implement citizen assemblies ~What you are asking is that XR become like a political party, have a manifesto and all the answers. it's up to ALL of us to create the solutions .. if YOU were in charge, what would you do? you have a unique set of empirical experiences and priorities that have a solution, trust me :D myself, id implement community food forests to feed those who already experiencing food insecurity and would have starved to death by now if it hadnt been for foodbank charities n churches in rural areas. I was lucky enough to only need 2 weeks of food from my local church due to benefit delay. The food is the longest lasting, most tummy filling, nothing fresh, so the vits n minerals are low and will impact neurological development in children. (most 'customers' have dependant children far as i can tell) Some comment under this vid suggested 'green investment-only banks' when you have your idea, take it to your local eco-group, and if they're not already working closely with local council, take it to them directly, or anyone who'll listen,t ry and implement it, collect allies in your community -what can be done on a community level? maybe you could contribute to building local green energy generation those archimedes screw style water generation things look good, but i havent had time to research in depth. The political machine starts at the town n village level -that is a place where we DO have direct influence and must get involved

kim warburton If I was in charge I would have a huge shopping list of policies, some seemingly mundane, others more impactful. Off the top of my head these would include:- Phasing out single-use plastic within 3-4 years Tax high energy light bulbs and subsidise low energy ones Carry out energy audits on all businesses, reward cutting emissions and penalise those that don’t take measures. This could be a list in itself of measures that businesses must consider. Ban the sale of outdoor heaters. Reduce the costs of public transport and encourage the switch from diesel buses. Invest in technological developments in clean energy generation and storage solutions. Tighten building regulations around building in energy efficiency with new homes. Introduce road charging for single-occupant petrol cars.

search for ethical banking you will find a few also it the same for superannuation and investments

@Donald McCarthy My post was rhetorical, I did not anticipate that a nihilist would actually bother to post a reply, after all, what was the point in making an effort to respond to a lost cause, indeed, it would suggest that you have hope :p

Actually, I suspect it's your lack of intelligence which is showing.

I am sure he would admit to that. Whats your point?

@Owl Muso The empty shill JD chan is probably trying to make out this was filmed in prison, and worryingly you seem to be going along with it lol.

what privilege he was from a working class background and worked hard as a farmer. He is a phd student. what privilege?

@a nader _'what privilege?'_ I see from your uploads that you are someone who promotes having animals murdered to eat their flesh even though you probably know that animal agriculture is one of the leading causes of our current climate crisis. Would you consider that your _'privilege'_ to have animals enslaved, mutilated, tortured and murdered just because it is currently lawful might just be showing - a tad? The shill you were questioning is selling the idea to fools that Roger has been permitted a nice clean room to do his interview whilst probably being fully aware that this interview was filmed just in case of any arrest. Somewhere inside you there may be a nice person. Do you know her? Are you worth my time trying to save the planet for you?

If you're thinking of going to jail for the rebellion - sign up to the "Contemplating Prison" 🤔🤔 webinar here on calendly.com/extinction-rebellion for the practicalities of what that means and exciting action ideas you could do!

Hang in there! If only!

Insidious disease. I'm sorry you have to go through that.

i can understand that. im now disabled n on ESA since 2014. it was my worst fear XD now, when i return to work (im improving slowly, probably in 12months all being well) i'll be self-employed, no more minimum pay wage slave for me. Being dependant on the government is horrible, but its also given me the mental freedom to educate myself in what matters to me, to re-evaluate my choices, who i am etc Growing up, i once considered those who dont work pathetic etc etc, now i understand the struggle, despite having grown up in rural poverty

For some, it's where they want to be. I had a friend years ago who was in and out many times. He told me once he knew he really belonged in prison. Eventually, he got his way, stabbing a rival biker to death. He's probably happy.

@@kingofthecatnap5422 i cannot imagine hurting someone else to death. if its what he wanted, guess he knew what he was doin n is content

@@kimwarburton8490 I actually worked 7 days a week in prison, removing asbestos for $1/hr during the week, then volunteered on weekends, cutting fire wood for the poor and the elderly. At night, college, philosophy classes, music, church. I was living my life to the fullest, reading 4 books a week, now I haven't read a book since I got out,3 years. I live in the Catskillmountains, very rural, I miss my state job, now I have to kill myself to make big money (construction), and the money just evaporates, no matter how much I make. In prison, there's no shortage of friends, now I spend a lot of time alone, I've changed, but my friends have not, I can't play those old games ( drugs/alcohol) , I'm 51 and my body is falling apart from a life of labor. It's like living in solitary confinement, work, home, repeat, church on Sunday, my only day of peace. I hope you're recovering well, and don't feel guilty about getting a little help, it's only fair, you've probably worked your whole life, like me. I don't know about you, but I'm tired, I had 3 jobs when I was 12, that's almost 40 years of nonstop jumping through hoops. But, I have a barn to resupport, a house to Jack and another house to paint, it goes on and on, no end in sight.

@@ericpowell7547 i had it a bit more cushty than yourself, i started work at 14 in an elderly care home on the weekends while i was still doin my GCSEs. I believe my body shut-down due to lifelong mental/emo stress overload starting when i was 4, B4 my system fully developed n thats why im recovering. Thankyou for ur kind words, i hope the rest of ur life makes ur sacrifices worthwhile n give u happiness. i too now have nothing in common with my pre-illness friends. Such trials change us. ive found my tribe in the most unlikely places online via the MMORPG and ME/CFS communities online. Something iv been considering, cos obvs im poor, is to start growing as much food for myself as i can within my flat (no balcony etc) iv found some LED strip lights £12 each n believe i can transform rain barrels into vertical container garden, roughly taking up 1m2 4 of these LED strips n ill achieve the 50W+ needed to help plant growth. i did consider aquaponics, but within one's living space, not a good idea cos noise n damp XD That said, i doubt ud have time to secure ur own food supply, but maybe u could convert ur home to offgrid (if u havent) to help save money? exchange ur construction expertise to someone who already wants to do this DIY who would buy the parts ud need (comfortable elderly, 2nd home owners come to mind) im already attempting to use barter where i can n using charity shops for books, clothes etc. 2day, i got some biker jeans, 3/4 kevlar for £3.50!! usually £50 brand new n they're in really good condition too :DD the donation came in while i was in the shop! stroke of luck or what!!! im doing my basic training in small 2hr appointments as my brain has a tendancy to go 'foggy' on me after 2hrs focus n ill only be usin a bike to travel to nextdoor town 15-20miles away (bus service was stopped) My next lesson is 2morro n i might get as far as goin on the road for 1st time -fingers crossed! talkin o which, i better shut up n get some sleeps XD hopin i might have given u a few useful ideas, take care

hmmm? do tell

@@karlwheatley1244 my plan is to eat beef burger and chicken burger every day until the end of the world and fuk the hippies. What Roger doesn't realise is it's too late. The end of the world is already here. Are you going to spend it in prison nurturing some kind of superiority complex? Or are you going to get yourself some hookers and cocaine and have a good time? Chances are if you take the second option, you won't even have to go to jail because it will be full of Roger's followers. For all the rhetoric about waking up and telling the truth, this whole thing smacks of denial.

@@artifactingreality Nihilism is worse than what XR is promoting.

I agree that protests could have a larger impact if they are planned to disrupt ''major ports/harbours which ship goods, Amazon Distribution centres,schools by having kids taken out for a prolonged period of time, Car manufacturers that specifically ship diesel and fuel products...the stoppage of many cargo ships''. But there is also a need for disruption in cities etc. as that's the only way it would make the news. Unless it is out there for the world to see, bothering people and annoying their day, the newspapers and the news broadcasts won't show it and very few people would talk about it. These smaller particular protests happen all the time and they don't make the news and usually don't make a difference. In saying that, I also completely agree with you about the inhumane effects that happen in the case of emergency services being disrupted. Emergency services should always be allowed through any type of protest and in the case of somebody being on public transport to tend to a loved one in need- there should be allowances made for them too. And if you asked any person involved in the organising end of Extinction Rebellion (at least in Ireland as that's the country I can be 100% sure of) they would completely agree. It is something that should and easily could be incorporated into the protesters plans and responsibilities. Protests are planned in advance and are organised by people who (mostly) have experience in this area of expertise, so being in know about them is easier than you may think. Maybe newspapers/broadcasters could announce them the day before so that people could be aware and change their plans or you could look it up as an individual if you are afraid it will terribly affect your urgent travel plans. Do you think that you would feel differently about Extinction Rebellion if (1)they were to announce their protests and make it more known to the public? (2) they made allowances for emergency services and people who are in absolute need of transport to help a loved one? Because I think these things could be done and if it would make you feel differently maybe it would also make many other people change their opinion of this necessary, awareness-building work :) Just a thought x

jilliangavin10 Hi, thank you for your well written reply. I would give ER a lot more thought if all those things could be rectified. I however doubt that the planned protests could ever be fully advertised due to the nature of the “shock and awe” approach to causing disruption. You can’t disrupt much when people have planned around the disruption. But certainly a bit more of a heads up than what is currently available is always handy for me personally. I think when people within any group, live it and speak about the group and its actions/values day in and day out, they become consumed and can forget that actually most of the world do not know who they are. I asked many people on my Services and I’d say its about 1 in 6-8 people who have heard or known about ER (my own experience, not stating that as fact) I however disagree with this notion that demonstrations around ports would be little news. As someone in the transport industry I can tell you that the Lorry driver strike, intended a couple of years ago, was a national emergency. If you can replicate the same stagnation of movement in transport, you cause the same outcome. People who are materialistic soon lose their minds when stuff gets delayed or fails to deliver. I mean this is what a lot of the panic is about Brexit. What happens without a deal, do we still get shipments? Well this is a very obvious target for me. But I understand that demonstrations like to be more public facing than away at the docks. I liked your reply, I can always get on board with fellow humans if they approach the topic maturely. Thank you

@@charliewalker9443 Firstly, I also thank you for your respectful reply, I did choose to reply to your message as I could see where you were coming from and you didn't seem to be talking from your ego. I believe this is actually what the internet has the potential to to be used for, conversations and debates between people who don't see eye-to-eye, maybe someone somewhere might even learn something if they give themselves a little time to speak rationally without reacting impulsively- I have been known to be a dreamer :P This brings me to my next point, ''People who are materialistic soon lose their minds when stuff gets delayed or fails to deliver. I mean this is what a lot of the panic is about Brexit. What happens without a deal, do we still get shipments?'' - I hadn't thought of it like this before and i think it is a great point. I guess I lumped this idea together with protests I would see outside an airport in my home country or outside of banks or big factories or corporations like Amazon. But what you are saying is: stick to the idea or civil disruption but consider that people will take a dislike to a cause they know nothing about if it stops them from making a flight for a holiday etc. Tell me if I have you wrong! I completely agree with the fact that a very small percentage know or care what ER is about and what they do know about it is not good. Even talking to my parents or friends about it they say all sorts from; I don't get what they are trying to do, you're just pissing people off, it's stupid, extremist, way over the top, they shouldn't have the word rebellion in the title to leftwing pinkies etc. and this fact should be taken into consideration. Just because I see it all over my tailored-to-me social media does not mean everyone else sees the same thing or knows what I know about the movement. Regarding this point, ''I think when people within any group, live it and speak about the group and its actions/values day in and day out, they become consumed and can forget that actually most of the world do not know who they are.'' I also agree and it is something that I worry about with any movement. It is something that can happen if you don't have some grounded people in there to remind each other of what it looks like and feels like from/on the outside (i.e corrupt and/or clueless politicians). However, I will say that I disagree with you about the idea of shock and awe. I think informing people that protests will be occurring, like the big one that's coming on October 7th, is a great way to make a point, make the news, get talked about and be heard. The only thing I fear with that is that you could get opposing groups coming out in force to oppose them- but that is only a risk when tensions are getting really high. (or a tactic by the right-wing politicians to turn the whole discussion into the Hunger Games distracting from the issue at hand. p.s I liked you're comment too From a fellow human

jilliangavin10 Thanks Jillian, I could not agree more. Respectful communication is something that, Ithink, can only be done by example which is why I have a strong dislike for the British house of Commons, The Young Turks vs Fox News or just a vast amount of feeds. I consider myself to be rather varied in opinion across all topics. (Regarding the ports) Well Thank you, I do believe it is an opportunity that would be extremely risky and rewarding if done correct. The English channel is one of the busiest shipping channels and a full back log hinders every other country we trade with too, along with nearly every freight train in the country. And the crews on board are minimal, no more than a handfull. I would also say that your summary of my stance is pretty accurate. Its always hard to hear your viewpoint summed up in such a tidy box, it always feels like a claustrophobic trap, but I think you have it down correctly. You know what, I actually am in agreement with your last point now, reading it slowly, I think it is true that the event is just as, if not more, engaging by inviting everyone to join in with the event. :D

@@charliewalker9443 Again, thanks for your kindly written message. It really is refreshing to be able to have these kind of conversations in a world where a lot of people are picking sides or ideologies. Watching all the different news broadcasts like the ones you've mentioned is interesting and I have to challenge myself to not follow the band wagon. With the amount of aggression and sly, immature digs they use, I understand why other people are not able to have the resistance - it's hard as they can really press my buttons. Being able to take a step back and look for what's really going on is key. But other broadcasts can be doing the same things just in more subtle ways and those are the ones I, personally, need to be aware of. I used to be more of a fan of John Oliver, Trevor Noah and Samantha Bee. I still watch them (and many of the others) but I do it in a more detached way. I feel it's the only way to form my own opinion. I'll spread your idea about protesting at the docks at the next ER meeting/protest. I think it is functional, to the point and could really disturb the system while harming as little everyday-people as possible :) Great talking with you, Maybe I'll see you on here again, Best to you and yours

Thank YOU

And we need to break out.

@@shadedshadow-qp3vt OK you convinced me.

@rachel469 I love this reply @Rachel469 fascinating sincerely

@Kropivnya boy it's 11 years of unchanged carbon emmisions will make catastrophic climate change locked-in 🔒. For future generations.

I'm in Australia. A few weeks after your comment, the country caught fire, due to unprecedented drought and high temperatures, like never seen before. It's not coming - it's already here. We're just the first white western society to experience it in full extent. This is the 1c reality. I can't even imagine what the 1.5c and 2c scenarios will look like. I don't want to go to sleep and hear koalas burnt to death, screaming in my mind.

Wake up mate! This was made *in case* he went to prison.

But the probability of extinction is not zero, and that's the point. Think of it as risk analysis. Even if the probability of your house burning down is very very small, we still take action and buy insurance because the financial consequences for most people would be devastating. Extinction is beyond devastating, so doing everything possible to insure ourselves against its worst consequences is a no-brainer.

That’s as idiotic as pointing out that we won’t go extinct after a nuclear war!

@@wnggtg And that is precisely the frenzied response I was expecting, if you honestly believe that in 12 years maximum we will experience a catastrophe of global proportions that will wipe out mankind or as near as damn it, and that the anthropological impact on climate change is the driving force behind it, or that drastically reducing our carbon footprint and emissions would halt or in any way make a hugely significant change then you really are deluded Ellan, see you in 15 years, we can have a coffee in a cafe on the seafront and you can explain to me why you believe that

Clearly you haven't seen the scientific papers. Climate collapse is already underway. If we carry on as we are, the total collapse of our society is guaranteed within a few decades, followed soon afterwards by the extinction of the human race. It's already too late to prevent societal collapse, but if the human race is to survive long-term, we have about a decade to start seriously working on mitigation. This is not the opinion of some rogue scientists on the fringe - it's the consensus of the mainstream of climate scientists.

@@Beery1962 Clearly you've been brainwashed by climate lawyers, NOT scientific papers. People like you make extinction sound appealing.

then it will be too late : ( (altho i totally get & essentially agree what youre saying, i thought he was being a bit acerbic ha!)

@@weaksohyeah Yes...it will indeed be too late. Hence the conundrum. My comment was/is simply based on the thinking I did. If XR disrupts an airport it simply will cause nuisance. If XR disrupts a polluting electricity supplier it will only be seen as a nuisance...and so on. But the urgency is real. So, the question is, what to do? my personal opinion is that its an intractable problem. Humans only take drastic action when faced with drastic events and no one in the first world has as yet faced it...who knows maybe hurricane Lorenzo?
