But Rob Hopkins is Suspect Now
Friday, December 04, 2020
Who's Funding Them?
Did Rob Hopkins get his ticket punched?
All NGOs are suspect now, even those that talk about resilience and localism.

Just Appropriating the Language to Persuade that Audience of Something Different?
Or a true believer in the Great Reset?
"What if Rob’s famous Transition project was never really about empowering local communities, about the relocalisation of society and a return to a natural way of living? What if Rob Hopkins is a total fake?"#GreatTransition #GreatResethttps://t.co/6oer6HV0ra https://t.co/6KjVPjxq6W pic.twitter.com/EuMhehz3Zz

Thank you for inviting @transitiontowns and @Ecolise to be part of this conversation. There are so many people working to transform their communities - top down, siloed climate action won't achieve the transformative shifts needed across every sector and at every scale.

Rob Hopkins on ST: TFA
From his blog:
Poorly-written fan fiction.
And the plot is just ridiculous. Rey, a young woman who grew up on a planet that's basically a big desert with a market on it, finds that in spite of having no training at all, she's an incredible Jedi who has mastered The Force (thereby making a mockery of the Jedi training schools in previous films and rendering Yoda redundant at stroke).
She randomly finds the old Millennium Falcon spaceship from the first film, which no-one has flown for many years, but is able to not just fix it up single-handed but then fly it incredibly skillfully. She doesn't have an operating manual or a YouTube 'how to' video. Indeed, it doesn't even look like she's got the key, but somehow it starts first time. Even my car doesn't do that.
Poorly-written fan fiction.

Article on Transition Town Movement and Rob Hopkins in The Guardian
Local, self-sufficient, optimistic: are Transition Towns the way forward?
Locally grown food, community-owned power stations, local currencies … can small-scale actions make a difference? Yes, according to the Transition network – in fact, it's our only hope
