This is what happens when people carry out counter-productive actions and alienate the very people that they should keep on side. This one is especially ill-advised: What can possibly be the point of disrupting electric public transport at rush hour?

Unfortunately, "Extinction Rebellion" has roots in radical and left-wing movements, which are not known for trying to influence and be constructive, but rather for taking 'direct action' in the 'struggle against capitalism'...
