I’ll try to sum it up in a pointed list.

• agitate, educate and organize
• as we know, not enough people are agitated and so all the past “educate” made by scientists has been pretty much useless
• we need to raise the tension then
• to raise the tension in a system where power lies in the hands of those that don’t want the tension, you need to force it
• to force it without power, you have very little range of options
• these actions are discussed a lot also out of the conscious-about-climate-people bubble
• so it’s basically stealing time and cognitive energy from the shit media to this shit actions
• the models of the past that worked better are the one for the workers rights and the one for the black people civil rights
• in both cases, there was a whole ecology of actions: violent protests, disobedience, non violent marches, super far left parties, more moderate parties and so on.
• they are a functional part of our ecology that is forcing the media to ring some bells

Here in Italy, they recently received a meeting with the climate minister, for example. No association could have that.

An impactful and radical change requires a whole ecology of movements with different strategies and tactics. Unless you have power in the system you are trying to change, obv.
