Is this detestable on principle or because we aren’t supposed to like the ones who are embodying an otherwise acceptable principle?

The former needs explaining. The latter is called “special pleading”, and is known in philosophy as a fallacy.
Interesting take and I'm interested to see where this goes. But these folks are leaching off the "esteblishment" that they claim to detest so much. Like I wrote earlier, when they start generating their own power and establish their own water source I'll start to take them seriously. Now they're just partying and taking and creating nothing.

Who knows, maybe we'll see a Declaration of Independence from them soon. THAT would make this interesting.
