The Disruption and Dialogue Paradigm of Extinction Rebellion

Extinction Rebellion has moved towards this notion that if we're nice, if you reach out toward the groups, it's not going to get anywhere. In other words, in the literature, it's called tit-for-tat: You're nice. The opponent is nice back. Great. Then you go to be nice again. And what you can see in this process is the central structure here of disruption and dialogue. These two things go together, which as we've discussed, makes it fundamentally and paradigmically different to the violence paradigm," he says.
