The Dark Mountain folks seem to revel in it all a bit much don't you think? They're a kind of refreshingly dark counterpoint to the 'everything will be saved by an organic urine-fermented artisanal hemp startup' Guardianista crew. But they seem equally silly (not to mention wanky).

I'm not disagreeing with you, just pointing out that all "movements" are theater in a way. They have a position to state, and they get it out there by saying the words and doing the things. If it looks a bit artificial, well, it is. But it's nonetheless well meant. I'm sure some of them eat cheeseburgers sometimes, and that doesn't detract from the message.
