"Those who hate "eco-nazis" like to post online about how all us greens want to take everyone back to the dark ages but I'm not interested in living in the dark ages. I'm interested in progress and utopias not global collapse and chaos. I'm not interested in living lke a 15th century serf - I really do want everyone to have access to cheap and good everything be it transport, computers, massive TVS, houses, clothing, food,whatever. I'm still hoping to live long enough to experience ultra realistic, virtual reality 3d holographic sex, ffs. I'm not interested in toiling the fields to grow a mouldy parsnip."
I myself have started experimenting with growing parsnips and other stuff just in case this ends up being a vital survival skill, but I would of course prefer the green-tech-utopia version of the future.
