War Extinction Rebellion demand Cambridge City Council hand over power to their "citizen's assembly" on pain of clogging up the city - All hail the Supreme Soviet!

https://order-order.com/2020/02/12/extinction-rebellion-launch-coup-cambridge/

Extinction Rebellion is threatening to “bring [Cambridge] to a halt” unless the city’s elected politicians hand over “significant decision-making powers and a binding mandate” to an unelected “citizens’ assembly”. Guido is pretty sure there is a word for people who use threaten people’s way of life to achieve political ends…

The rigged ‘citizens assembly‘ Extinction Rebellion is demanding would “exclude those who directly profit from the exploitation of workers, the Global South, or natural resources.” This would replace the functions of the elected city council. Extinction Rebellion would do well to realise there are local elections in just a few months time. It seems they’ve decided that launching a coup is easier than winning an election…

Cambridge City Council
must hold a Citizens’ Assembly on Climate Justice.
Disadvantaged and marginalised communities will experience the effects of the climate crisis most severely. For example, World Health Organisation research shows that women, children, socially isolated people and the elderly are affected more severely by climate-related food insecurity. Any attempt to address the climate crisis must seek to bring justice to these communities.
The current democratic system has failed to deliver this. We need a radically inclusive form of democracy. We must place decision-making power into the hands of those who have been pushed aside by the system. In response to Extinction Rebellion’s third national demand councils across the country have introduced Citizens’ Assemblies. However, since they are only advisory they lack any power to bring about change.
To meet this demand, the City Council must:

• Establish a Citizens’ Assembly on Climate Justice.
• Ensure that marginalised groups are well represented in the Assembly. This must include those without citizenship status in the UK.
• Ensure that the expert panel includes:
  • Climate scientists
  • Health professionals
  • Experts on decolonisation and climate justice
  • People who have lived on the front lines of the climate crisis
• Exclude from the panel those who directly profit from the exploitation of workers, the Global South, or natural resources.
• Ensure that the Citizens’ Assembly has significant decision-making powers and a binding mandate.
• Act urgently on the decisions of the Citizens’ Assembly.

Of course it's not just about the climate. It's about ensuring the RIGHT people have the decision, i.e. people they control, and people who can be replaced or sidestepped if they don't do as the XR leadership says.

The worrying thing is, since Cambridge is a city infested by students and Liberal Democrats, it would not surprise me if they bent the knee to this.

Something something something, 100 organizations make 71% of carbon emissions, something something something, no rebellion without a strong predetermined leadership ends well, something something something, may the streets run red with blood, and something something something, of course it's fucking the United Cuckdom.

Had to double-check, this is Cambridge in the UK, not Cambridge, MA. (Although this kind of thing would not be out of place in the latter!)

Speaking of, here's your dashing revolutionary leading the charge:

You had us this time, subverter of the people!

Cmon' Miss Patel! Sing the song of your people and summon them to lubricate the streets with spicy curry! They can't block a sewer!

The sad thing is that those people realized that when it comes to the elite, taking down transportation is infinitely more effective than commiting terrorist attacks. Killing a few wage slaves is nothing compared to the millions of dollars in losses from not having the Apple products supply lines working at full capacity.

I refer yall back to what I said on the niggo history month thread

Fun fact: Whenever somebody babbles about "dismantling systems and institutions because muh [INSERT BIGOTRY HERE] violence" or general "decolonisation" buzzwords you can immediately write them off as either a mindless consoomer/regurgitator of buzzwords or a disingenuous woke-edgelord, since this whole concept is literally just...

"Every facet of society is irreversibly evil and bigoted by virtue of bigoted laws and social norms once being in effect, even if such laws and norms are long gone and utterly absent today, and you must voluntarily abolish all forms of government, laws, businesses, and private institutions and cede all power and money to me and people like me to remake society it as we see fit"

Which TLDR is....

"I want the results of a violent revolution, but dont want to do shit to get it other than whine on the internet"

This shit is literally "WE DEMAND THAT YOU GIVE US TOTAL POWER, LEST WE WHINE AT YOU IN PUBLIC SOME MORE!" and is banded with the most obnoxious, sanctimonious, unintelligent, and unpopular demagoguery the left has to offer in a way that is guaranteed to make absolutely fucking everybody outside that particular woke activist bubble fucking despise not just their supposed cause but everything tangentially connected to this cause... but since none of these retards actually give a fuck about the cause beyond spewing the most "edgy and radical" sounding buzzwords they can think of, they happy to engage in these theatrics since since it increases their own profile and gives them moral license to act like screaming toddlers whenever they like, and when their contemptible antics drive the environmentalist cause into the ground once again they can happily jump aboard the next trendy bandwagon

Nice! I assume that's the UK version of ADF.

The environmentalists are going to be in for a shock, they're currently trialing out a new tax in the English town of Warwick to pay for things like electric waste trucks and taxis, only unfortunatly for them they have to get the approval of the locals in a referendum, strangely the media only shows highly positive press coverage but somehow I don't think the average voter is going to approve of paying more tax just to virtue signal about their city being more carbon neutral.

Once again the fucking greens show their true colors. This time though, instead of harassing proletarian chuds trying to get on the train (which I thought were greener than driving?), they've picked a town full of upper class fart huffers who will probably find their eco-soviet absolutely smashing!

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

Eco-terrorism isn't going to make you new friends, or make you popular. @Judge Holden is right about writing them off as control freaks.

If Extinction Retardation pull this off I will literally drive down to Cambridge and Bay Of Pigs but successful that shit to reclaim the town for the country.

We'll have to put hazmat suits on though, the amount of Chinese there is outstanding, nevermind the filth that comes with university leftists, who seem to have a vendetta against garbage cans.

Ah, this is one of those occasion where an angry farmer with a muck sprayer could sort the whole mess in a matter of minutes.

The middle class of the West is acting out like the eunuchs of China. They want power to do trendy nonsense.

Quick question how much austism will the UK tolerate before enough is enough? Like we're talking about a country where you if you dare to say even boo to the government you may end up hung drawn and watered with your head on a pike.

Once it affects everyday life negatively the average Brit will fight back with a vengeance.

Canning Town was just a taste.

Wake me up when one of these hippie white guilt commies actually puts there money where their mouth is and kills a politician

 

[Sexual Chocolate]

Srsly, I hope they give in to these freaks.

The climate cult isn't going to stop until people see how dangerous it really is. It's not about gleaming new Teslas (that you probably can't afford) or airhead celebrities offsetting their private jets, or banning plastic straws. It's about a gay Current Year recreation of medieval serfdom, where the masses are permanently priced out of things we take for granted now, like personal transportation, eating meat, reliable electricity supplies, and being able to fly on planes.

Cambridge could be a good lesson for everyone else.

To steal a quote from the joker I will say nigger that 99% of these apparent "control freaks" are like dogs chasing cars; they wouldn't know what to do with it if they caught it, and they wouldnt know what the hell to do with power if they ever got it. The whole thing is simply one big virtue signalling charade where they make absurd demands and declarations, corporations and local governments respond with grovelling token non-measures aimed at getting them goodboipoints from activist aligned media, and if certain pockets get lined with such non-measures then so much the better.

Remember Judge Holden's autistic mantra on dumbass activist antics: These. People. Dont. Care. About. The. Cause. They only ever care about their own enrichment and ego, which is why they will always do the most offensively obnoxious and counterproductive shit imaginable since it gives them the most media attention and has the biggest chance of getting them the asspats that they crave, financial or political or figurative. This goes for every strain of these fucking people, from race baiters to environmentalist screechers to "MUH EBIL CAPITALISM" grifters,
