27. Sorry, I have more commentary
There is NOTHING that I cannot stand more than people who attempt to co-opt "coolness" to sell "the philosophies of religion and order," -- in fact, the damn article almost spells it out: that these kids, supposedly "rapt," by Smith are looking for "order."

The problem is, that it's disingenous, because they're cloaking the same old patriarchal, rigid, constructed, sexist, bigoted dogma in the clothes and "memes" of decades of counter-culture. Was that guy SERIOUSLY wearing a t-shirt that said "obey?" Isn't that one of the slogans on the billboards in "They Live?"

The truth is, these people truly ARE aliens, disconected from their bodies, from the strata of human creativity and possibility, ready to fit everything into a nicely constructed, comfortable package. And for what? So they kids are better human capital? Notice how, like all Jesus revisionists that personal wealth is not poo-pooed upon. Is there anything more individual than hoarding resources? How the hell can the idiot who wrote the article talk about "collectivism?" WTF? She needs a LTTE, stat.
