re: #98 ArchangelMichael

I dunno. I think that is part of it, but their has always been a reactionary undercurrent for as far back as we have recorded our history with such detail that it can be pointed out. I’m sure it was around before then as well.

You can look at almost any retrograde political/social force in the West today and follow it to its antecedents. The nature ‘worshiping’ moonbats are pretty clearly directly descended from the anti-Enlightenment Romantics that emphasized the majesty and wonder of nature as a part of their social dogma. A push back against what they viewed as the cold and clinical attitudes of Rationalists.
