They still march, protest and try to bribe politicians with their vote. Life is obviously so much more worthwhile if one is working to save the environment, not money. Nothing wrong with living off welfare while working for such a glorious undertaking. Not for them the arguments of the Oxford Union. Privileged institutions might turn down tainted money and reject funding that can be traced back to the Nazis, even if it is proposed to put it to good use.
Environmental zealots are far too Machiavellian for that.
They happily take whatever the government will give and beg for more. The welfare or grant cheque might consist of money made by people and organizations that rape the environment and are destroying the world. Working and making a living in the country is not easy. That's why most people have to live in cities. Having hard earned money taken from their pocket and given to zealots determined to destroy them, is often the least of country folks worries.
