I am baffled as to what ‘net positive impact’ extinction rebellion is supposed to have made, given they tarnish the reputation of the environmental movement as a whole with vastly exaggerated projections of doom, actively block pursuit of non-renewable energy solutions like natural gas, carbon capture and nuclear, and promote an anti-natalist hysteria which is only going to make other economic and social problems worse over the coming decades.
I’m not strongly sure about the sign of the impact. I’d lean towards positive, but maybe I’d change my mind if I did a deeper dive. My main point was that not everything that is impactful needs to be done inside of EA.
