You, and others like you, simply do not understand.

It's not "global warming" that's important, it's belonging to a group that
drives them. Solidarity, function, a goal, comrades, a shared purpose,
something to live for - those are the really important issues.

"In the main, people join a mass movement first and only then adopt the
goals of the movement."

"Membership in mass movements is interchangeable. Members of a mass movement
are almost always also members of other - often unrelated - mass movements."
(Save the whales, Burn the bra, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, have the same
members.)

"People mind their own business when it's worth minding. When it's not, they
take their mind off their own meaningless affairs by minding other people's
business."

"A mass movement can exist without a god, but it will always fail without a
devil. It must have something to hate."

Quotes from: "The True Believer," by Eric Hoffer.
