Too friendly, too eager to be on message, man is obsolete, dooming ourselves to extinction, restore the balance of nature and babble babble, he overdid it so much that he sounded preposterous, and in an outfit like Bearlift, with its full quota of preposterous green-hued furfuckers, that took some effort.
The quote from Margaret Atwood's "MaddAddam" highlights a character's excessive enthusiasm and the ridiculousness of their message about humanity's role in nature. The phrase "man is obsolete" captures the extreme perspective that suggests humans are not only unnecessary but contributing to their own downfall. This notion is coupled with the idea of needing to restore nature's balance, which sounds less like a thoughtful discussion and more like nonsensical chatter.
The character's appearance, likened to a whimsical outfit from "Bearlift," emphasizes the absurdity of their stance. The vivid imagery of "preposterous green-hued furfuckers" illustrates just how far they have gone in trying to align with their message, to the point that it becomes laughable. This juxtaposition of serious themes and outlandish visuals critiques the effectiveness of overly fervent activism that loses touch with reason and believability.
