    Weird. The Sierra Club has accomplished way more by changing laws than eco terrorists have.

    Fossil fuel companies would love for you to write off traditional nonprofits.

      Yet here we are living with the Climate Crisis as the greatest existential threat of our times as many struggle to breathe due to smoke coming from Canada. No laws have prevented that and are often weaponized against it by the state in support of fossil fuel companies , recent examples are the “compromises” pushed through to negotiate the debt ceiling agreement. I’m not a fan of XR, as I mentioned when this conversation was active 5 months ago, due to how they hijack movements and don’t respect my Indigenous comrades but many “traditional nonprofits” have a documented history of corruption and inaction as well and we are beyond the point of just passing laws to save the planet. No solutions should be written off including dual power solutions that would utilize traditional legal solutions as well as new alternatives.
