What does it tell you about yourself that to engage in a discussion you have to assume, despite me making some pretty clear points which I will clarify below, that you immediately label it as a conspiracy?
> doesn't matter why you're protesting, you can do it for any reason. That's a cornerstone of a free and democratic society
They can protest without blocking roads. Blocking a road is not inherently protesting. It's blocking a road. You could be holding a Bible quote or a big orange banner. The end goal of these protests is the act of performative protest, little more. *The end is nigh*
> What are these goals you have an insight to?
The same thing the edgy far left has wanted for 150 years. The absolute destruction of western society, and by proxy capitalism. Except they know that won't happen so the actual outcome they expect is beyond me. You can find plenty of evidence of such thinking from anyone involved. It's why you will find SWP banners handed out at any number of dozens of "protests". The climate stuff is just the latest hook of social injustice they've adopted. I'd love to see this refuted.
> I looked to see if this was true and couldn't find any joint extinction rebellion/ just stop oil candidates, nor any for either of them split.
They are both not an organisation and the same organisation so as individuals involved can say they are not involved. For the purposes of British law when they are tried they don't want to be tried as an organisation or members of one
> looked to see if this was true and couldn't find any joint extinction rebellion/ just stop oil candidates, nor any for either of them split
> Bring Down the Government, replace it with Citizen Decision Making.
You will find a press release on there where 12 members of their party - maybe that's the whole party - were taken to court for criminal damage etc during an XR "protest"
