Extinction Rebellion announces move away from disruptive tactics
Climate protest group says temporary shift will ‘prioritise relationships over roadblocks’

Sun 1 Jan 2023 08.19 EST
The climate protest group Extinction Rebellion is shifting tactics from disruptions such as smashing windows and glueing themselves to public places in 2023, it has announced.

A new year resolution to “prioritise attendance over arrest and relationships over roadblocks”, was spelled out in a 1 January statement titled “We quit”, which said “constantly evolving tactics is a necessary approach”.

The group admitted the move would be controversial. Other environmental protest groups, such as Just Stop Oil, have stepped up direct actions, notably throwing paint at art masterpieces.

It's hard to teach elitist dogs new tactics. They'll be back, IF they ever stop.

I guess my suggestion of mass jumping off cliffs like lemmings didn't go over so well.

Maybe be locked into empty cold buildings or having their glued body parts ripped off of buildings and floors was finally percolating through their tiny brains.
