They'll attack Tesla but not traditional automakers or other industrial instances more directly responsible for destroying the environment and contributing to climate change.

Stupid people and hypocrite will use the same banner you do and sometimes it will be false flags as well, such is life and that's why you should never judge a group on their most stupid members, because on the Internet there's no barrier to entry and anyone can claim to belong to the group, even if everyone else in the group thinks they are morons.
How many stupid members do you need to call a club stupid? 20%? 50%? 80%?
It wouldn't make any sense to put you in the same club as coal runners right, would it?
When you start stretching coal runners definition, long-distance-flying-loving „greens“ will become coal runner colleagues than me :)
Oh, many have at-hand solutions alright! It's just that these heart-warming intuitive solutions break down when faced with realities of scale.
> Wind turbines deface! Solar panels pollute to produce! Batteries are full of metals you have to dig for! Screw industrial-scale food/production/distribution! Proof: I buy from the local shop/market/producer!
Yay, getting your Thanksgiving turkey from the local farm sure is nice, except... how much local producers have to produce to provide continuous daily sustenance to, say, a ~1M town? How much surface is needed to produce that amount? How are the logistics handled to move such local goods around? How much energy is expended in the whole process?
I'm not saying the ideas don't have merit, it's just that the revolution as envisioned falls apart with a bit of system thinking and a couple minutes of napkin math. That, or decimate the global human population and have survivors live in extreme scarcity.
