modernais totēmisms
But in practice, hedonism and anti-humanity are connected. Normally, for any healthy person, hedonist indulgence would be tied to repentance. Now, since modernists have done away with traditional religious authorities which try to explain explain sins and virtues they are just left with vague guilt and anxiety. The primitive human impulse is then to project this on some enemy, some scapegoat. In this case, it is "climate change", Donald Trump, et cetera.
The more they avoid their personal responsibility, the more they start projecting their negative emotions upon everything, until they consider the entirety of existence evil and unfair. Then they start destroying for others purely out of spite before finally killing themselves to escape it all (crucially because they can't stand the world, not because they can't stand themselves, which would be the sensible reason). Surely you see the connection between this personal development and Satanism/Gnosticism.
A non-hedonist modern person would likely not have the same psychological need for any outlets to their negative emotions, and would keep away from the worst excesses, just following along like an NPC. But as soon as they get burned by modernism or enlightened by a dissident, they could switch sides.
This is unlike the hedonist who is addicted to meaningless pleasure justified by modern hedonist ideology, which they will not abandon for this reason. I would not at all be surprised if the "extinction rebels" are exactly the same people who march in sex-fixated pride parades and catch STDs from Tinder.
