The guys are probably in it for the hot chicks with wild abandon.
What's interesting is these kinds of people don't seem to have romantic tendencies. They don't listen to "Love Songs From Delilah."
I'm sick of them just like most people but I know they're going to apply their DNA level youthful tendencies to "something."
In Europe and America, most of our worst problems have been resolved. Not long ago we had our own local famines on both continents for example. Our own Apartheid. Not long ago, they forced guys to go fight wars. If there's one big enough they'll force them again.
When everybody is hip and everybody is cool and trying to be fair, then you have to go a step further. If circumstances aren't terrible in your opinion, then there isn't much purpose to you when you feel the urge to "save the world." You get more pure and intolerant. You get more strident and narrowly conditional about what's acceptable to you. If society strays into your territory and adopts some of your concerns, then again, there's no point or purpose to you again. More strident, more intolerant and more narrowly conditional.
It's the same thing on both sides of the coin. It becomes a cult. That's why they eventually circle around and join forces against the middle.
