Guavanaut posted:They picked a cause where it's easier to say "the government should fulfill their promises and insulate housing" than "the government should implement unworkable laws to ban all protest" though. The weird thing is that the public grudgingly supported XR. I remember people late for work, held up by the worst possible student theatre, grumbling "well the climate is important" from their cars. Everyone itt, and every leftist I know personally, gave them poo poo for backing off when they had public approval for an effective strategy to harm the government and economy. How has the presence of a concrete demand caused this switch?

I think it says something about the effectiveness of insulate Britain that there are still a lot of politically engaged people who don't really understand who they are or what they want.

My question is why blocking the roads was publically accepted in the first place but now, with the incredibly reasonable and achievable demand of "stop boomers dying every winter also lower our bills", a group with the same leadership is now getting assaulted.

Handlers and undercover officers have groomed and manipulated gullible fuckwits to do the actual protests. Undercover police have a long history of embedding themselves in the heart of protest groups so they can manipulate people into doing stupid things. e: On the subject of the police, I've been prodding them more, including tweeting directly to D&C's Control Room Supervisor https://twitter.com/stuwyatt/status/1448272066344591360 I hope they take the bait.

 get IB to aggravate the public in a way which XR didn't quite. chuck green levy on top of the huge increases in gas charges so people people get hacked off with 'green' measures so the govt says at the behest of the electorate they are cancelling all green actions.

I think the honeymoon period ended with the tube strike. People could work around street protests, but sitting on tube trains (which are already electrified and greener than buses or cars) on a busy work day was a spectacularly cretinous idea.

Oh dear me posted:Stopping climate change is more important than lowering bills and stopping boomers dying. Not really mysterious I don't think. the point isnt to lower bills and stop boomers dying, the point is to massively lower energy use in the housing sector. It is a hard requirement if we're going to build a sustainable economy. "Lower bills and stop boomers dying" are nice perks that make it palateable to the people we're normally butting heads with. It should be an easy sell. Darth Walrus posted:Guess who the founder of Insulate Britain is? This is part of my confusion though. I can only assume the met keep trying to explain how this works to patel, who must just keep replying "but we can kill them???"

It is a hard requirement if we're going to build a sustainable economy. It is a requirement when you build a green economy in order to let people stay warm, but it does nothing green in itself and may even be bad for the environment* when you do it without building a green economy, which is the current situation. It's really not the most important message an ostensibly Green movement should be going for, IMO. *If people spend their saved electricity money on aircraft fuel, for example

Eagerly awaiting the resolution of all this somehow being harsher protest laws followed by landlords being given government grants to insulate their properties that they're somehow not actually required to spend on insulation so they just get richer and tenants poorer.

They judge dose by downing a load of sugar then injecting until they feel dizzy, then downing a lot more sugar. This - surprisingly - isn't as dangerous as it sounds, until one of them gets hold of the slow-release type and OD 6 hours later.

keep punching joe posted:Someone who's good at Positive cases are a completely pointless comparison between countries because they're as much a factor of how many tests are being conducted as they are how many people are infected. For comparison, deaths per million over the last 7 days: Germany: 4.35 Netherlands: 0 Belgium: 5.57 UK: 9.59 Italy: 3.76 Ireland: 0 Spain: 3.17 France: 2.01 Even this isn't a 100% reliable comparison because of very different regimes on reporting deaths. The Netherlands in particular most definitely *do* have a massive reporting lag problem - their covid death numbers are as much as a month late. Ireland is similarly slow in reporting but their rate is almost definitely under 1 in a million. Of course the UK is still a big outlier here, but "2-3x worse" is a very different deal than "10-40x worse".

goddamnedtwisto posted:Positive cases are a completely pointless comparison between countries because they're as much a factor of how many tests are being conducted as they are how many people are infected. Ireland used to release the death rate on a daily basis along with how many positive cases of Covid there was. Then the Maternity hospitals and Health Service were the victim of a cyber attack during the cyber. (Incidentally as someone who was attending maternity hospitals at the time, eat a massive bag of dicks Russian hackers.) Since then even though months have passed, the official reason why the Covid death rate is not released daily is due to the Cyber attack. Strange that.
