The flat earthers are the mindless enviro fanatics who are oh so firmly committed to a return to feudalism. Their breathless, witless, fascist preachments are the stuff of nightmares and monsters. Avoid them, at all cost.
He didn’t mention the bicycles, so I will.
Bicycles are cool. I rode bikes for years and was one of the original Boston Bicycle Messengers (and WHAT a figure I had back then! LOL!).
That being said, “Bicycles” are a tremendous symbol of what he is describing in the article. When I see a bunch of elite snobs hogging the street their $1000+ bicycles, with their skin-tight spandex racing clothes (covered in advertising logos) made in polluting, exploitative, slave-labor factories in China, and their sneering, I’m-so-superior attitudes, I just wanna puke at their hypocrisy!
Dan is not decrying proper stewardship of the earth’s resources. He is lambasting the hypocrisy that masquerades as it.
