NB. You do not need to debate Extinction Rebellends.

They are end-times weirdo zealots. They do not believe in debate.

The only thing you need to say to them is "WHO TF DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?"

XR are only useful as a prop to point to, to make your case to reasonable people.
XRs are as happy to waste your time as they are happy to block your route to work.

There is a direct equivalence.

Find worthwhile people to make your case to.

MPs, local governments, newspapers. Activists are a lost cause.
There is an exception. Sport/training.

if you lack confidence or debating skills, idiot greens make good sparring partners. You can learn a lot in a short time about the psychology and rhetoric of zealotry: the circular thinking, appeals to authority & fear mongering.
But you must call time on your 'engagement' with XRs. They are on a mission to waste yours.
Remember...

The debate is between the political establishment and MAINSTREAM British society.

It is not a debate between XR weirdos and counterpart opposite extremists.
