It's a bandwagon thing. Founders and early joiners of a movement are very different from people who join after a movement is already successful/catching on (perhaps widely or perhaps in one area/subculture). After something becomes so successful that you can't challenge it in any way (at least in some circles) it takes on the characteristics you describe. If someone pokes you in the eye and says it's for climate change, you can't say anything. None of this has to do with the accuracy of the original movement. CC can be very real and abused by politicians and other opportunists.
