Much harder to face the difficult, nuanced, contradictory and often infuriating realities of situations.
For instance it's easy to say 'hey nobody needs a car!' while ignoring the dire state of public transport, people who live remotely, the many many cases where public transport does't practically work and the fact it costs literally double to go by unreliable, strike ridden train.
It's just perpetually annoying to watch this play out over and over again.
I remember CND doing this and doing great harm to nuclear power, the one thing that could have saved us from climate change (yes a bug bear), I remember the anti animal-testing people, I mean even the antivaxxers are doing their own version of this.
The real world isn't simple, sorry. Making stupid statements and feeling warm + fuzzy is not helping anything real. Grow up.
