If I’m missing something let me know.
The cost of emerging technologies is reducing therefore direct action is useless.
Is that your argument? That’s not strong.
I’m not going to engage with your comments on public relations because (honestly) you don’t seem even remotely aware how campaigning works. We could be here all day.
If you think of XR as a form of lobbying does that make you happier? A form of ‘lobbying’ that Shell can’t directly counter. Unlike a traditional lobbyist there is no pay packet, but real personal sacrifice. All done in full view of the public.

The issue IMHO is that XR through their tactics allow the issue to be recast as part of the culture wars and thereby turn people against climate activism on a tribal basis, rather than building the non-partisan consensus that we need for real change. I think they are undermining everyone else’s work.
