"what we're really trying to do is co-opt the environmental movement to vote for the democratic party in the next presidential election, while the party continues to support anti-environmental policies. i know it sounds outlandish and insulting, but it worked in the last cycle with the anti-war movement so why not try it again? the kind of soft-lefty liberal centrists that go for the democrats are PERFECT for doublethink! they've been trained for it their whole lives! so, we're focusing on building a feel-good community where people can get together and smoke giant blunts (next cycle? they've been saying that for forty years...), rather than on building a counter-economy that may actually reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. and, who would criticize the solution? in the end, everybody is happy. self-censorship leading to ignorance is truly bliss."
