Everyone Hates Environmentalists And Activists

According to a study published on Salon.

Salon's comment threads, like Slate and Huffington, is great for a chuckle whenever I need one.

Like this.

"You know what, as an activist, it is not my mission to be liked. I am working with mainstream environmentalists who try to use the more traditional methods of influencing policy makers and affecting legislation and they don't like my strident methods either. But you know what, their methods aren't working. An already weak fracking regulatory bill that I led the fight against got made even worse in the final hours, and there was nothing the Big Green groups who made nice and got a seat at the table could do. The fact is, we humans don't have another hundred years on this planet unless we resort to activist tactics, including non-violent civil disobedience. And if people don't like us, F***K em!"

Speak to power (self-righteous) sister!

These are the sort of people who like to talk about "democracy" but loathe it in practice. It's 'all or nothing' (to borrow a stock trading option) with them.
