[QUOTE="NationalMatch, post: 4106028, member: 48586"] A little context: Extinction Rebellion blocked traffic to the Burning Man counterculture festival Sunday — only to be [URL='https://nypost.com/2023/08/28/climate-activists-block-traffic-into-burning-man/']rammed aside by tribal police[/URL] — and are funded by some of the biggest names in Hollywood, along with an heir to the Getty fortune and outdoor retailer Patagonia. The group [URL='https://rebellion.global/about-us/']calls itself[/URL] part of a “decentralized, international and politically non-partisan movement” demanding climate action — and until now has largely stuck to causing disruption in Europe. Under its banner, protesters have superglued themselves to the speaker’s chair in the British Parliament, blockaded busy roads — often by affixing to each other and the asphalt — and even attached themselves to the top of a plane. Allied groups in Europe have vandalized a Walmart heir’s superyacht. More at link.
