I'm ignoring irrelevancies.

No. You're spouting opinions about a subject you refuse to get educated on.

I live in Western Kentucky. Believe me, I'm well educated on the opinions of a good segment of society toward environmentalists. And, like them or not, Kentuckians and people of similar mindset vote; it might be wise to at least acknowledge that their opinions are what they are.

It doesn't matter how educated your on their opinions. You can't judge them unless you understand environmentalism.

That... makes no sense.

They dislike environmentalists, and I know in good detail the general reasons behind why the bulk of them do. It's not complicated.

Actually, it is complicated. Let's pretend you know

Are you high?

Do you have any inkling of the response your posts on this thread would get from the majority of folks I know? Do you understand that you're helping make their case for them? Or why?

No. I'm not high. What I'm doing is qualifying your lack of knowledge on the subject.

So, what steps do you think environmental activists could take, independent of others, that might alleviate the ill-will that much of society seems to have for them?

I can't say that environmental activists are creating a backlash that is greater or less than the awareness they create. Nor can you.

What I can say is that the U.S. is behind when it comes to scientific education, relative to other nations.

And if you want to see a form of activism that you're apparently unaware of, then head on over to Patagonia and do some
reading. Again, you don't have the full picture. Here are some links:
