I've been noticing this more and more, there's an insistence that pointed economic or environmental criticisms of some consumption habit, usually almost exclusively partaken by the upper middle class and wealthier people, must actually secretly be a purely cultural critique. I'm sure these guys work for Exxon or some shit, lmao.
I can imagine, in the presence of justice, a college-level engineering class where a bunch of young people try to bring back derelict forms of petit-bourgeoisie entertainment in a world-friendly way. Somebody decides to present on the decarbonized cruise ship.
In the presence of libs this would not be how it works
