We're in one of those Dorian Gray moments, where the beatific visage of the American Empire has been ripped off, revealing those layers of hideous underlying, accumulated rot which us loony Leftists had been pointing out for decades. I suspect much of eco-futurism was the American version of Gorbachev's idealism, the notion that Green Living didn't need Green Energy, Green Jobs or Green Multipolarity.
