One might say Extinction Rebellion is still too young to be judged on lasting effects, isn't it? Also, getting arrested and going to prison is not something I would call a feel-good effort.

It is a bit early, but getting arrested is absolutely ""feel good"" activism - unless it actually achieves change. Nelson Mandela wasn't just getting himself arrested, he was trying hard not to be arrested for his campaign of sabotage.
