The "kool-aid" drinkers are those who rant about "unbridled capitalism" (a misnomer when applied to the underlying causes of the complaints you have cited) while promoting liberation theology/eco-socialism. Economic systems are generally as moral or as immoral as those who participate in them (with the exception of communism, which is intrinsically evil).

The kool-aid drinkers are those who willfully ignore Pope Francis' and the Vatican's collaboration with socialists, eco-nazis, population controllers and other anti-Church leftists.

For example, Dr. Jeffrey Sachs has received funding from Soros. Jeffrey Sachs’s $200 Billion Dream

And check this out:

And then there is the notorious Dr. Hans Schellnhuber, honored "Laudato Si" presenter, who believes that poor Gaia is overpopulated by 80%. Presumably he counts "the poor" (rather than brilliant atheists such as himself) as the excess baggage.

And how about Naomi Klein and Dr. Margaret Archer? Why are these perverse people being recruited by the Pope to help him carry out his agenda? Only kool-aid drinkers could actually believe that he would deliberately select fellow travelers not in sync with his intentions.

He has now recruited "climate change expert" Governor Moonbeam Brown provide advice to the Vatican. Kool-aid drinkers must surely be swooning.

POPE FRANCIS CALLS ON JERRY BROWN AS CLIMATE CHANGE EXPERT

Before Francis snuggled up to Morales (the hammer and sickle crucifix gifter), Morales was snuggling up to Putin.

Anyone who truly believes that Pope Francis is standing up for the poor by snuggling up to commies ought to lay off the kool-aid.

Splitting bits and pieces of a major encyclical devoted to man as custody of our natural treasures and beauty and turning it into an Al Gore defense of climate controls is absurd. He speaks of a throwaway culture of consumerism that empties itself of Christ, the very creator of our earthly planet. Can anyone turn a blind eye to the degradations of the rain forests and the oceans? The senseless slaughter of wildlife: ivory trade in elephant tusks? dolphins? or seal cubs for fur and profit? This is not a liberal or conservative issue. It is very much a Catholic issue in the sense that natural reserves are for use by all of God’s inhabitants.

Now the MSM would like to hijack the message as Francis being an avid supporter of climate change caused by normal human activity and this of course is what they do. But for those who read the encyclical carefully we don’t drink the kook-aid as strained through the opinion and news report filters of the NY Times.
