Short version from my time fighting the landuse wars while I was Ed at off-road.com...
All us hardcore offroader types were naturally anti land closure. But when rubbr hit dirt, many chose to compromise with the greens and BLM rather than fight to keep areas/trails open.
today every one of the areas I was involved in is either closed, severely restricted, or was closed over endangered snarfblats then sold to developers who built mcmansions and malls....Oh and the Nevada solar plant too.
The people who chose to compromise were real upset once it was too late.
Incrimentalism means you lose a piece at a time. Eventually you are left with nothing. In no manual of strategy does consistent compromise over decades result in victory for the person giving away his ‘assets’. none.
It's WWII. You are Churchill. Do you 'compromise' and allow Stalin into your "Allies" team against the "Axis"?
