His eye for the ironic is never sharper than when he points out that the very same people who want to freeze the non-human world in precisely its present form (literally, a 'conservative' position) are also the people who want to mold the human world into a shape that it's never before had, the shape defined by 'transnational progressivism' ('liberalism' gone globally amuck).
But these two positions are really two sides of a single agenda: restrict the power of humans to do what certain elites believe to be harmful to the non-human world and to humans. And, gosh, if we had any reason to believe that these elites knew what they were talking about, we would be well-advised to do what they urge us to do; but since we don't, we shouldn't.
