The PMCs live in a delusional bubble. And they've gone to cult-like extremes to make sure nothing can penetrate the bubble's narrative maintenance—especially those icky things. I'd love to figure to provide them with effective exit-counselling.

I'm convinced environmentalism -- like so much else in the decadent West -- has become a kind of pseudo-religion. It's not that environmental concerns aren't real, of course they are, but that in our modern secular societies middle-class liberals embrace these causes with a religious zeal which is essentially fundamentalist in nature. I guess that's what happens when you remove organized religion from the picture. Not that the latter wasn't abused in the past by unscrupulous elites to suppress people, but at least it counseled a measure of humility and a humanistic outlook, both sadly missing in the current environment.
