I always saw it as cope. "Here is far in the future, after we've mostly destroyed the planet. Here is a small pocket where things have calmed down enough that people can settle back into something resembling a primitive state."

    Yeah I see it the same way too, but the reason I take so much issue with it (and I've even spoken about it here before IIRC) is that it's exceedingly common for all sorts of reactionary and ahistorical ideologies to fester when people start fantasizing about going back to primitive societies or some other form of pre-modern life.
