Thank you Roger, I'll be sharing it a lot and wherever I can.

[@seelenwinter6662]

and use for it a lot of energy... better dont use your handy or internet and save energy...

[@gregcromack5392]

Humble Brilliance - what an asset to the movement.

[@seelenwinter6662]

haha... some kids wanna play... i hope greta or roger gets the new malcom x, che guevara or martin luther king... they all get killed early enough...^^

[@buranyi]

I appreciate this reflective look at what he thinks has led to XR being effective. Significant progress for a movement less than a year old. Puzzled by some of the negativity and defeatist "we are done " comments. Worth considering what another activist said: "Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something is worth doing no matter how it turns out." Vaclav Havel

[@orchardyhaven]

Excellent! ☺

[@celestialteapot309]

Thanks Roger

[@simonwhittle6958]

Only 90 minutes! What were you thinking ? I need to watch this a few times for it all to sink in. Thank you Roger.

[@KatBuckleyXOX]

Thank You. XOX

[@Jvenvell]

Excellent video! Whoever runs the XR video content - I'd strongly suggest chopping this up and posting c.10mins clips of Roger answering the most important questions. I've learnt more from this video than any other piece of XR content (including This is Not a Drill) but I think if I tried to share it with people who might be interested in joining the rebellion, they'd be scared off by the prospect of watching a 90mins video.

[@tuanocallaghan5089]

Yeah, that's very true. Maybe a written transcript too, so you could quote certain parts more easily.

[@shaunaburton7136]

Amazing ideas

Who has more rights. A woman raped in Tel Aviv. Or a woman raped in Ramallah?

[@andrewmedhurst]

Should the world map of XR chapters above include London (as well as Frome ;-)

[@mariameneviktoria5533]

Roger, thank you for establishing green movement Extintion Rebellion - XR!! I think everyone human being must join XR to save planet Earth!

[@mhrc4506]

What a great guy, saw him first on BBC Hardtalk and I liked how he used the doctor and cancer analogy to explain the Climate situation.

[@innershifttv]

This is great on a larger scale. Would need to be rescaled for a rural community. Coming to you from Montpelier, VT one of the smallest state capitals.

[@armageddonouttahere1090]

There's so much here, and overall I love it. Just one thing now though that I want to emphasise: the part where the people on the ground are meeting with the central organisation team - that needs to be a two way process, to an extent. Not just that the spokesperson gets better info and feeds that back to the others. There's information that's important that can be fed back to the central people too. For example: leaflets. At Oxford Circus we didn't have enough of the most useful and appropriate information to give out to a public that had never heard of us and were hungry for info. And we had lots of people being helpful handing out leaflets and talking who needed basic information to support their conversations. I was surprised about this issue (as a welcome desk steward) and there didn't seem to be a direct link to 'HQ' about it. Anyway. That's just an example of how 'on the ground' info is useful in strategy and planning. But wonderful talk, thank you Roger.

[@armageddonouttahere1090]

Another thing: I'd love to hear Kofi Mwauli Klu's take on the movement so far.

[@littlelucki777]

We cannot fight the system, the answer is to walk away and remove our energy from it.

[@aragornthebrave]

We'll never get the numbers to do that. We do need to fight it.

[@VeganTrove]

Not vegan? Not serious The study, published in the journal Science, created a huge dataset based on almost 40,000 farms in 119 countries and covering 40 food products that represent 90% of all that is eaten. It assessed the full impact of these foods, from farm to fork, on land use, climate change emissions, freshwater use and water pollution (eutrophication) and air pollution (acidification). “A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use,” said Joseph Poore, at the University of Oxford, UK, who led the research. “It is far bigger than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car,” he said, as these only cut greenhouse gas emissions. The new research shows that without meat and dairy consumption, global farmland use could be reduced by more than 75% - an area equivalent to the US, China, European Union and Australia combined - and still feed the world. Loss of wild areas to agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of wildlife.

[@sukhmanicambridge]

You obviously know what you’re talking about. I can see it’s true what you say I agree with you. I didn’t before I watched the whole video nor perhaps would I if I’d not joined one XR event already. Everyone needs to do one!!!

[@spannabird6173]

With you all the way!!!

[@differentme.2024]

thankyou Roger, this is a great insight into the thinking. Im wondering if anyone would like to join a Ulab group to take a U journey for XR?

[@TheTruthTeller99]

"What's the point in talking to the weather about the police" Cracked me up that Rodge

[@matthewthomas7824]

Civil disobedience works to get equal rights, but no amount of people in jail will get people to give up their rights and freedoms.

Fab video...Can I change my go to jail option from"Maybe" to "Yes"! Danny

[@alanross2790]

I'm afraid Dr Guy McPherson is not the crazed sociopathic death cult leader most people would like to see him as. I think we are already over the cliff edge. Those in actual power are blood guilty and even now are still active players in our inevitable demise. That said ,respect to extinction rebellion for being a voice amongst the white noise.

[@MrSatnavatron]

They had armed police in London but they are very highly trained people, I worry that in Countries with heavily armed local law enforcement with low levels training in comparison ...

[@howmathematicianscreatemat9226]

Problem is that the most intelligent people in the world are still working for the elites. We need to raise their confidence they can also work for other people. Most elites need intelligent slaves for true power, this is the good news. Almost no weapon boss - for example - can produce a powerful weapon himself without the help of genius physicists and technicians. But those intelligent people are actually easiest to persuade. We just have to give them confidence they are welcome in other companies too which work for the whole instead of their egos.

[@emlillthings7914]

A serious facet, but only once we've actually managed to sequester the heating GHG. Since solutions have been strongly considered even without the intent of removing ex. CO2, mostly because it would be much easier than to deal with the root cause, so I don't personally think it's a priority atm

[@giam1084]

what we need to do is to take into account GEOENGINEERING.

[@ianpavey3188]

You need a committee meeting with the government

[@timlazenby9605]

The movement may have won. But will government really change. I have my doubts.

[@ianpavey3188]

We may have a way to grow a lot of food

[@ianpavey3188]

Roger Hallam can I have a word with you.

[@johnbowdler7775]

Let's not head the debate with a climate scientist making sound arguments, let's use a PhD in 'Civil Disobedience.' The bland leading the bland.

[@alphatucana]

Without strategic thinking, you will end up where the powerful want you to end up.

[@mskogly]

Nice. But once you start talking to the weather about the police, it is time to take a little holliday :)

[@thanelewis4897]

you haven’t met the Seattle police. Militarized, sadistic, preemptively violent toward peaceful protest

[@petemcfadyen1697]

So Roger, did you sell for a million quid or so?

[@alphatucana]

I'm not clear what your definition of "winning" is in this context. What were the goals, and did the movement achieve them? Clearly, climate change hasn't come under conscious human control yet - I suppose that's the end goal. Were you aiming at publicity, growing the movement, and maybe winning some minor concessions from the government and some public and parliamentary debate? If so, I guess you can tick the box, and we'll see what you get up to over the Summer or in October. If you're going to disrupt Heathrow airport, then, if you want my support, it would need to be at an off-peak time of year, and with at least three months' notice, so that less-well-off people will have the option of sinking their hard-earned savings into some alternative arrangements, and those that have to travel have time to make some other arrangements too. Business people can video conference.

[@itspeekaboo]

Well i managed 15.57 in anyone done the full monty 1.32.54 or is it a series,? "by the way we are not all going to die from climate change" however less than a further degree C and beyond will have daunting impacts.

[@SuperU2tube]

Just rambling

[@VeganTrove]

To be truly nonviolent AND take the climate emergency seriously, we must be vegan: The study, published in the journal Science, created a huge dataset based on almost 40,000 farms in 119 countries and covering 40 food products that represent 90% of all that is eaten. It assessed the full impact of these foods, from farm to fork, on land use, climate change emissions, freshwater use and water pollution (eutrophication) and air pollution (acidification). “A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use,” said Joseph Poore, at the University of Oxford, UK, who led the research. “It is far bigger than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car,” he said, as these only cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Loss of wild areas to agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of wildlife.

[@knockschool]

Is he Jeremy Corbyn's little brother.

[@MichaelAnthonyLahueMusic]

What did you win? Donations? I still see animal products on the supermarket shelves, and animal agriculture is one of the largest contributors to the climate crisis as well as other environmental tipping points. It also affects social justice and human rights. There is research to support veganism as a viable way to mitigate climate change. Are you requesting that governments make animal agriculture and fishing illegal?

[@daddyfresh711]

Zero carbon madness

[@1969cmp]

Yep.

[@babycherie5874]

Instead of addressing methane from livestock, the primary cause of climate change, why not have XR talk about CO2 instead? And blockade newspapers, call churchill a racist, and make sure ambulances can't get patients to hospital, all whilst eating meat?

[@kitersrefuge7353]

Too much information. I stopped after 23:22...its simply too much to take in unless you are a XR lead or something.

[@matthewleitch1]

The disruptive protests that took place in London have done more harm than good to the cause of sustainability. They helped to associate sustainability with inconvenience, disruption, and discomfort, which is the opposite of what is needed. Sustainable technology and lifestyles should be simpler, less effort, less frenetic, cleaner, gentler, and more healthy. It also did not help to make claims about climate change that were exaggerated because this undermined credibility.

[@d3dt3chno94]

What does everyone think of David Icke calling out the Climate Change Emergency as a hoax?

[@itspeekaboo]

David Icke "when calling out the Climate Change Emergency as a hoax?" he also believes water vapor is the main driver, and adding more CO2 to the Worlds Oceans will revitalize declining phytoplankton populations,also trying to evaluate The Triassic,and Jurassic, periods to our current atmospheric CO2 counts he's a twat,and his channel deleted many of my comments correcting his stupidity,which i find strange for someone that proclaims freedom of speech.

[@falcodarkzz]

Well he's disagreeing with the world's scientific community, the smartest people we have, based on an opinion. In short, he's not well read by the looks of things.

[@celestialteapot309]

He needs supervision to take his medication.

[@LukeFlegg]

Isn't that the guy who believes the Queen is a lizard?

[@davedurant7087]

that its David Icke. Nuff said

[@jonpickering5436]

"8. We avoid blaming and shaming." You blame capitalism for the climate crisis don't you?

[@marschallnitzsche7203]

they blame explotation of earth.

[@ef7480]

Lots of talking and not much being said....🙄

[@QuantumCat]

How is it that the single most important thing everyone can do to mitigate climate change, which outweighs everything else by a huge margin - ie have less / no children gets almost no mention via XR. You can arrange drone protests against planes, glue yourselves to trains, protest against cars, yet can't manage to mention the need to have less children, which far outweighs all the others put together. You keep mentioning it's a 'climate emergency' yet don't never mention the biggest thing people can do to prevent it. Be honest, you're not an environmental movement at all, you're an anti-capitalist movement using environmentalism to try pull the wool over everyone's eyes and do the work for you. Don't think people haven't noticed. Shame on you.

[@stauffap]

So we're supposed to have no children, while people from other countries keep pouring in? Do you know what politicians will do when you don't have a child? They are going to say that we don't have enough people, that it's going to cost us billions, that we are going to lose our wealth and that we won't be able to pay/care for our older citizens anymore. So they will tell you we actually need more immigration and they will simply let more people into the country. People, who are going to consume as much as your child would have, but without necessarily sharing your understanding and appreciation of democracy, our laws, our education, science etc. So good luck with that strategy. In my opinion this will only work if it applies to the whole world or if we can agree that we want to have a smaller population in a particular country. Another thing we can do is actually support the many countries where people do not have access to family planning methods. Or we can do things that are actualy known to lead to less children like spreading education, the empowerment of women, reducing poverty and corruption etc.

[@lancsFrogger]

i came thinking people would explain what's wrong with the world (starkly) & what needs doing (a clear plan). instead its woolly abstract bullshit about stuff thats no use to anyone at all. eg: the 'politics & the personal are mixed together', 'the idea is to go out and observe', 'the theory of non-violence', climate collapse is 'universal & affects everyone', etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. just an endless parade of useless platitudes. humanity is fucked if its relying on these guys

[@VeganTrove]

[@1969cmp]

Most of Australian beef production is on land you would use for anything else, anyway. Perhaps beef production methods can be changed as well as total consumption rather than complete cessasation of the beef industry?
