Its interesting to hear an activist admit that most of the 'save the world' activists are performative and foolish. The chants change, from "No nukes!" to "Bush lied, people died" to "Globalize the Intifada" and yet its the same people. When was it anyone's job to 'save the world'? I took particular note that Mr. Kingsnorth rejected Christianity the first time around exactly because it was familiar. I've long noticed that many young people are 'xenophiliac' meaning they are attracted to anything not a part of their home culture, regardless how repellent the alternatives are, or how successful their home culture is. I was never taught to hate my American cultural inheritance until I went to college, and had to undo the damage on my own. Finally, I wonder if Mr. Kingsnorth, having journeyed through so many stations in life, will simply role back around to his previous positions. Or, has he arrived at the 'right' or truthful position? If there is real truth, he should stop changing so drastically, and be fine tuning from here on out. Or, will it be back to the barricades in a few more years?
