A nit, but I think it's low self esteem and a huge ego. Deep down they hate themselves and think they are garbage (which is why they are desperate to signal their virtue). However they view themselves as hugely important despite contributing almost nothing to society.
It's the exact opposite of a healthy mind, i.e. confident yet humble.
It's about exterminating humans cuz peak everything is upon us and as we can see we are close to total collapse because we've run out of cheap to produce resources resulting in galloping inflation ... which will leave 8B people on the streets in the dark hungry.... and we know where that leads....
We haven't run out of resources! We grow enough already to feed 15B and the fuel prices are artificially lifted to appease the companies who lost so much revenue during the lockdowns - imvho.
I think the real success of the dark side is convincing people that resources are scarce. I've been listening to that since I was a child in the 60s. Somehow the "collapse" of society never comes. Some people need to believe in a boogyman.
According to Rystad, the current resource replacement ratio for conventional resources is only 16 percent. Only 1 barrel out of every 6 consumed is being replaced with new resources
Shale binge has spoiled US reserves, top investor warns Financial Times.
Preface. Conventional crude oil production may have already peaked in 2008 at 69.5 million barrels per day (mb/d) according to Europe’s International Energy Agency (IEA 2018 p45). The U.S. Energy Information Agency shows global peak crude oil production at a later date in 2018 at 82.9 mb/d (EIA 2020) because they included tight oil, oil sands, and deep-sea oil. Though it will take several years of lower oil production to be sure the peak occurred. Regardless, world production has been on a plateau since 2005.
What’s saved the world from oil decline was unconventional tight “fracked” oil, which accounted for 63% of total U.S. crude oil production in 2019 and 83% of global oil growth from 2009 to 2019. So it’s a big deal if we’ve reached the peak of fracked oil, because that is also the peak of both conventional and unconventional oil and the decline of all oil in the future.
You might like Freeman Dyson's book "Weapons and Hope", especially the chapter "Tragedy is Not Our Business. Or, you might not find it exciting enough. It's a good account of human history as it plays out vs the predictions made.

During the lockdown here in Victoria Australia the price per litre decreased from ~$1.75 to less than a $1.00, and now suddenly it's over $2.00. This has nothing to do with resource changes in the last two years. The drop to $1.00 was to lift demand, and the $2.00 is recouping losses.
I disagree. The lockdown shutdown a significant amount of production due to the lack of demand. Demand rebounds heavily in 2021. But due to the headwinds created from the Biden admin, plus the capital investments required to bring production back to pre-pandemic levels, the production level is still 3.5 million BPD short. Not because it's not there, but because shortages in labor, shortages in supplies (sand), shortages in investment capital (reluctance due to politically centered headwinds), and increased regulations are all factors. In addition, larger companies are reluctant to ramp up production quickly for fear of another slowdown (looming recession).
It's a perfect storm. Has nothing to do with peak oil.

While I agree that out "infinite growth on a finite planet" model was always going to crash and burn at some stage, without a decisive change in course, I strongly suspect that many of the shortages we are now seeing are synthetic.
Much more dangerous then a clown show. This is mass murder for fun profit and depopulation.
Why won't the parents see?
Most actually do see, as evidenced by very low vaccination rates in 5-11
It would be interesting to see what a personal profiling firm would come back with, for adults who vaxx their young children for covid?
empty brain and MSNBC on all the time, combined with huge self esteem and chip on the shoulder

You are more right than I was in my explanation
Well said Jeff
We are watching FLDS documentary on Netflix, cult where adults would hand over 14 yr daughter to 50 yr old perv to "marry". Eerie similarities.
Btw, they all were pervs
Yup, legal in Calif for religious nuts who can marry 7 year old to 70 male.
California deserves much worse than Sodom and Gomorrah.
Far, far worse.
I'd like to pay per view...
From Mexico border
perfect. simple, but no simpler. They might as well be aliens to me...
Think Biden is awesome - hate Trump.
If you're a commie he's great. And I mean a high level commie... until they get bumped off. Revolution always eats its children
I'd screenshot and send to my siblings but they have blocked me. I'd add: NY times!
emphasis "fun profit". brilliant
I disagree! It is not for fun.

Plenty of oil remains - it's just too expensive to extract:
