Talk:Extinction Rebellion

The last section
I'm not sure why it's in criticisms? It's just recounting what one of the co-founders believe, not why what they believe is bad. Minish (talk) 07:24, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
 * (Minish is talking about this section)
 * If you are not sure, why not raising the issue in the Talk page first, instead of immediately deleting the section?
 * I think that an environmentalist movement having one of its founders openly admitting that the movements is not actually about the climate, but in reality it has to do with many other controversial things including the idea that Europeans spread evil around the world... is bad; no explanation required.

 * That very much reads like a strawman of this founder's positions, and even then, this still isn't an actual criticism. It's a statement of what the founder belives. — Oxyaena Harass  16:58, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

 * So none? — Oxyaena Harass  16:53, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

"We won't fix the climate"
Where the hell is the "criticism" in this section? It's just a statement of facts, and nothing else. No critique given as to why this is somehow an unreasonable position. Hint: it's not. — Oxyaena Harass  16:55, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm no fan of XR, but I'd agree there's no criticism in that paragraph, so I moved that segment to the "Goals" section under a subsection describing the founder's beliefs. I think it may have originally been an attempt at saying "Oh, pfft, they're not a REAL environmentalist group!" but since I'm not the original editor that put it there, I'm not sure.
