I see this was organized by Extinction Rebellion, which focuses on Climate Change awareness. Seems this person planned to paint black letters on the Chase building. If anyone at Saidit doesn't like Big Banks and what they've done to the world and national economies, and the environment, for the past 300 years, then you'll like what Extinction Rebellion is doing. Many people here are angry with Big Banks and money in corrupt politics. Consider joining Extinction Rebellion. It's a good group. Forget about 'left' or 'right'. These people are fighting for a clean environment. They're challenging governments and the 1% who are abusing the 99% and the rest of the world. They are part of the change that many on Saidit want.

Thanks for this. I read it, wondered why he did not make his point in an explicit manner, or make it all, and then read more online and found this:

Their notes also sum-up what I was thinking. Like some older members of XR, they want to do much more dangerous stunts and they get upset when they're asked to back off of those idiotic, dangerous ideas. So this founding member is mentioning what he thinks XR should be, that it's much much more than just climate change (but he won't be specific, because he's a fool). Actual XR is definitely about climate change and all of the man-made, corporate, corrupt decisions that have helped with it.
