Re: Extinction Rebellion Disrupts London Underground

Extinction Rebellion and Westboro Baptist Church certainly have a few thematic similarities. Both are entirely performative; the goal is not to change society but rather to convince someone that their "real" goal is to change society. It's the superficial motions of protest without the underlying goals, for the purpose of establishing personal reputation as "protestors."

Other than that, though, they're different in more ways than just religious/secular; they also differ in the ostensible "goal" they use as a pretext for their fake protests, and they differ in precisely which people they're putting on the performance for.
