Assuming you mean Rodger Hallam? I don't want to ascribe malice but how well can you understand him if you got his name wrong?
If you can accept I mean no malice and it was an innocent mistake (fat fingers and half asleep) then I can forgive you for also getting his name wrong so we can cancel each other out, 😜. Roger... there's no D.

Your point hinges on you being (actually) deprived of something, when you are not.
Sometimes the enjoyment is in the moment. Visiting a museum or art gallery and just quietly contemplating life whilst taking in the art. Hard to do effectively when it's daubed in orange. But let's perhaps also take the recent protest at Les Miserables. Also hard to argue that that you weren't deprived of a musical theatre performance when it has to be called off because protestors are waving flags in the performers face.
This is intentional - you are (figuratively) deprived of something to highlight how others have been deprived by the actions of the fossil fuel industry.
But, look, I get the idea. A lot of people do. And a lot of people including me agree with the end goal of improving the environment and averting climate disasters. But they don't agree in this kind of protest. It's only effective in annoying people rather than changing policy it would appear. Disrupt Parliament, disrupt the MPs surgery, disrupt every public event every MP appears at until they change policy. Depriving people from enjoying their lives isn't going to help his cause. Far better to guide, teach, encourage them to make better choices that satisfy both their aim of enjoying their free time and helping the environment.
pretending like Hallam's comments are a declaration of war is absurd.
Oh no, he actually thinks this. Have a listen to the recent Political Thinking podcast. He outright said the rich and elite are committing genocide against the poor. That's his point of view. Not mine. I brought it up because it's such a wild thing to say. He was even questioned about comparing it to genocide and did he mean it figuratively and he doesn't. He literally thinks genocide is happening.
Why do you disagree with XR and JSO by the way? Not trying to start anything just curious, most people here hang off their every word.
