alt Hacker News> Also, the dig against "Precious Plastic Camp" as a "hipster commune" is just... I don't even know where to start. From what I could find it's a little thing where kids learn how to recycle plastic, and he makes it sound like they spend their money on some Burning Man, I mean what the hell.
I think the parent refers to Project Kamp, their "sustainable" community in Portugal (they have a YouTube channel), for which "hipster commune" is actually a very kind description.

That makes more sense, but we seem to have a different notion of the term "hipster". Anyway, from what I can see in the YT channel, it's not for me, but at least on first glance I can't see anything that would justify bashing these people. Where does this intense dislike come from? Are they peddling some grift or are deep into some conspiracy theory? I don't see it.
Yes, I should have properly cited and linked to it. It's "Project Kamp" and, again, appears to have been a hipster commune more than anything.

Why was there no mention of this in the (already-completely untransparent) article? They apparently own a huge piece of land in Portugal - why all the whining about having no space or money? Plant some vegetables on your 10 hectares and sell them,at the very least.
