XR are constantly belittled for wanting to mess with capitalism or dismissed as anarcho-communist or eco-fascists. It depends on who’s doing the trashing.
I think hope for ones own personal politics 100% aligning with a fast-changing lose global affiliation of somewhat likeminded eco activists is miss-placed. It’s also probably a distraction.

The point is that any movement like XR that focuses on green reform of capitalism is ultimately doomed to fail (or a dead end, as the video puts it) because a system based on endless growth is inherently at odds with environmentalist goals. Don't get me wrong, it's great that people are starting to take direct action, but if we're unable to pivot this anger into demands for more radical change then we are all very much doomed.
