They'll give it up if they have to, yes, but that's because they have to. The tobacco industry is still doing $100 billion each year, and they print death threats on the packages. People who know meat is bad for the environment still eat it. People are stupid, lazy, and panicky. You won't reduce the damage at the grassroots level. You have to win elections, frame the debate, and set policies. Anything less is pissing on a forest fire. You're just going to singe your pubes.

Of course it does, by doing what I said. It's the only way anything ever changes. Win some elections, frame the debate, pass legislation. That's how it always works, and it never works any other way (without violence).
There has never been a movement that built up so much grassroots support that everyone just unanimously agreed to go along with it.
