i remember XR from London. a few hundred people managed to close down intersections that then created even more pollution. then they blocked the tube/subway and the commuters actually fought back (physically). since then XR london protests are around 5-10 people. personally, i don't understand why, of all the options, they would go the route of "cancel culure"/"name and shame". why not get elected and pass laws? why not create a smart campaign to get the people on your side and then force the government? and finally why not buy actual shares in those companies and become an activist investor (like so many others)? that's why to me XR always felt like teenagers in adult clothes. their spirit is pure, but the actual implementation is really poor.
