Yes, eco activists died for a lot of those movements too.

The point isnt to "turn guns on [our] own side," it is to remind people that these movements and legistlations rest on the shoulders of giants, just like most everything else in our society

I really don't think that Nixon was strongly motivated by eco activists. I mean, I get what you're saying... like I said, the overall climate does make an impact on the "establishment" policies absolutely and the activism has to lead by about a hundred miles before the government starts catching up to it. I think on that front we're saying more or less the same thing.

The right did a lot of that specifically to prevent indigenous people from using their traditional lands
