It represents the system, aka the world. Not the earth.

Hang on. I didn't start this thread. I was criticised for an article that stated protest is our only tool and that we need to nurture it, be aware of cooption dangers, learn from our mistakes, refine our goals. If you'd all like to focus on that argument, we can stop wasting time
all of which we agree on-but your tweet that introduced the thread went further: "what we need now is real populism - of Extinction Rebellion, of Greta Thunberg and the school strikes, of a Green New Deal" the question is, do these corporate labels represent real populism?

And I wrote a whole other article to clarify what I meant. This thread started criticising me for my clarification. So again, please focus on what you see as wrong with *that* argument. Otherwise, this just looks like trolling

had not seen the second article, which is excellent, thank you. i don't believe R. Monotti or C. Morningstar can be accused of cynicism--on the contrary, their criticism is eminently constructivehttps://www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2019-05-16/science-wont-save-the-planet-new-values-will/ …

What we need is not to expect anyone else close to vested interests (Greta, XR, Green New Deal) to give us (false) ready-made solutions but do our own research & argue for the solutions most likely to make a real not illusory impact based on environmental history, facts, science.

So what is your argument? Shut down the schools strikes, ostracise Greta Thunberg, tell Extinction Rebellion activists to go home? Where's the strategy? This is little more than navel-gazing
