    Clearly, a good portion of the population isn’t aware of how serious the situation is, it’s still an election issue.

    If the right level of awareness was reached, having any kind of oil money around you would be a political death sentence. Instead, Trump has public bribe meetings with oil execs and his base grows because of it.

      Ok, now please explain, since no one else will, why pissing people off is a good way to achieve that.

      Have you ever convinced anyone of something by pissing them off?

        They said the same about woman and gay rights movements. You can’t make noise, block traffic or even talk about it without pissing people off.

        Not to mention most of the anger is manufactured by oil execs and then enabled by people with little to no proper reasoning skills.

            Pivoting into religious rights about the summer solstice celebration. That’s a stretch if I’ve ever seen one. I don’t see why religious monuments should be exempt from harmless protests but I really doubt you would have called stone hedge one yesterday if it wasn’t for it suiting your argument today.

            Is that your stance. You are pissed because you think the religious rights of the revelers got trampled on?

        Why are you more angry about a stunt that did no damage than you are about actual ecological damage done by oil companies for profit?
