Using a radical fringe of an ideology or group,  is no more accurate toward progressives than describing  right wing activists as racist neo nazis, KKKers, or conspiracy theory zealots.  Liberals and progressives want more sustainable use ( read USE) of public and private lands.  They want fair treatment of people. It's no secret humans have been exploiting each other and the environment for centuries and today we can do it faster and more efficiently,  and only those with their heads in the south end of a north bound camel think otherwise.  It's true protests disrupt business and cost money.  Spiking trees, destroying property is wrong and are a form of terrorism,  so is taking over public land with a stockpile of weapons threatening to use them.  Non-violent protests without weapons are a big difference.  Labeling armed takeovers as terrorism is far from being a "sanctimonious hypocrite" but simply calling violent behavior what it is.
