It is evil in the same way that when you strike a bargain, you ought to uphold the bargain.
Sure bargains are revisited after some time. But most people understand that a bargain is designed to last at least for some period of time; not weeks.
Activists therefore are violating the spirit of the bargain.
I also think activists frequently have wrongheaded goals and make things worse off but that’s a separate matter (though it no doubt makes me less favorably disposed to activists in general — in truth I think an activist is a shameful “profession.”)

And this is why the activists win. Every time you move the line a little, the next movement of the line is only slighter more expensive compared to the new status quo and the government has already admitted the alleged moral case.
I find activists in part evil because they never hold up their end of the bargain. On Friday, they will celebrate their hard won compromised victory and on the next Monday they will be telling us how the status quo is intolerable and needs changed.
The original movie had dinosaurs attacking people and an amazing script. In fact, the former was used somewhat seldomly which (1) made it better and (2) played into what makes the script so good.
