On the face of it, a nice rant about XR. But if you caveat your criticism with the necessity of 'tackling our carbon footprint', that you're 'no climate change denier' and that single-use plastic is unnecessary, then you have done XR's bidding.
You can't make a distinction between XR's objectives and their methods.
In fact XR are perhaps unique in their being the most honest about their outlook -- far more honest than any academics, scientists, journalist or politicians. But it's the same outlook.

That philosophy is anti-human, through-and-through.
It's simply more obvious in XR, as XR are in general too thick in the head to disguise what others are mealy-mouthed about.
There is no difference between street-level environmentalism and establishment environmentalism.

It's not XR that is going to ban your car, your boiler, tell you what you can have for dinner, take your job, kill your livelihood, demand many £thousands in energy bills and costs for retrofitting -- and the rest.
You're going to be inconvenienced far more by Parliament and the Government and the UN/UNFCCC than by XR.
They will use the police, the courts, the power of corporations, and God knows what else against you. XR can only block roads, not close them forever.
XR is a foretaste.

XR are just *one* expression of an ideology that has been allowed to fester in society, which should have been confronted long ago.
Just listen to them. They are insane. But they are the same ideas that drive establishment thinking, and the establishment has no answer to them.

The point here is not to say "climate change/global warming is not real".
The point is that *environmentalism* is an ideology which needs it to be real, and that this creates moral and political imperatives out of its crazy presuppositions about how society MUST be reorganised.

To make that even clearer:
We cannot understand what kind of problem climate change is until we have confronted and understood green ideology.
Green ideology -- environmentalism -- confounds a clear view of the natural world and distorts and corrupts it.

You will not find any clearer demonstration of this fact than in any work commissioned by the UK government in favour of the green agenda.
Everything between and including the Stern and Dasgupta reviews smuggle green ideological presuppositions under cover of 'science'.
