You are right it's kind of exactly what I was looking for, I will look further into that, thank you! As for XR I'll push forward trying to build connections and meeting like minded individuals who might even be interested in adjacent stuff like what you mentioned.

I'm just afraid that it's all destruction and PR stunts. I believe in demonstrations, up to a certain point. I just feel like they accomplish too little when they are generic. I read somewhere that XR UK was very poorly seen by general population which is a shame because a few years ago they weren't (at least so much).

I'm afraid that the regular person is going over the hill of being concerned with the planet and just gets annoyed by road blocks and demonstrations fronted by young people to pretend throw paint at art and just give up. Because those people that are affected feel like there is little they can do about the big parts of it. I know the argument of union strikes civil rights protests but I feel like the public opinion is not going in the right direction.

In the end I feel that if there is going to be any hope of moving the needle of the big issues regular people need feel included and like it's their cause too.
