Anarchists please stop the sniping at #XR from the sidelines and get stuck into some direct action

Feel free to share the #climatecamp videos widely in Facebook/Twitter/openweb pages for #XR as it’s good that the new generation have a connection to their history.

#mainstreaming is obviously a #deathcult we do need to keep saying this
