Being an activist/socialist/anarchist/deep ecologist, every time I can take a swing at Exxon and every other climate destroying corporation, I swing. And when some one else even looks like they are whitewashing those capitalists, I take a swing at them, too. It is just the nature of being an activist/socialist/anarchist/deep ecologist. Truly. Maybe not too intee-lexual, but it feels good.
