That’s the problem, they are entirely in ernest and will stop ant nothing to bring about their promised land. They’re fecking crazy, in short.
The promised land of these Eco-Utopians will bring about is one that they will in which they will not be able to survive.
I doubt that most of them realize this to be the case.
I doubt that most of them have never held down a full time job or paid bills.
People that do those things don't have time to do protest like these.
