From what I can tell, it’s actually a teeny-tiny number of people, but they get disproportional media coverage for reasons that should be obvious considering the interests of those doing the covering.
FWIW, while I’ve not met many misanthropic greens in real life, about half of the greens I’ve met on the Internet range from mildly to extremely misanthropic.
I wouldn’t say misanthropic, maybe more a matter of scope insensitivity and an overromanticised view of the ‘natural’ state of the world. But I think they genuinely believe it would make humans better off, whereas truly misanthropic greens wouldn’t care.
Yes. As I see, a lot of Greens are Misanthropes. Do you cover this aspect?

Sometimes the whole internet seems to be filled by misanthropic people, so I am not sure how much evidence this is about misanthropy of greens.
