I’m confused

Out side of my work there are a group of people protesting against mining, fair enough. I asked one of them if they were opposed to mining in general. He said he was, I commented that all the fixtures on there musical equipment came from product being mined. I also reminded him, whether he drove a car here or caught public transport, virtually all those things came from being mined. He just stuck his banner in my face and started dancing around like an idiot and tried to stop me from passing. What a fool, I pushed him aside and kept walking.
