The eco-socialists aren’t getting the respect they believe they deserve from the Obama Administration, or the laws they believe need to be passed so as to avoid the entire world exploding passed thourgh Congress.
So now comes the civil disobedience
The big and small L libertarians and other folks on the right started getting very unhappy with the government in the last year of the Bush Administration. There were low-key demonstrations and much waving of signs and wookiesuits woven. There were a couple of large demonstrations where the obedient media made shit up about the folks doing the demonstrations because those folks weren’t giving the media enough bad actors.
But these utopians have no patience for that. They go from zero-to-“arrest me” in no time.
