No I think their just making fun of the way the plaza group's meetings involve a whole lot of conversation that basically goes nowhere & accomplishes nothing.
I skimmed through one of their general assembly videos and their basically just spinning their tires with never ending questions, and questions about questions, and questions about the question questioning the original question.
EG:
"Ok folks, we're going to set up a non-profit account at a credit union tomorrow"
"Is it really ethical for our group to be working with a credit union?"
"Well I'd agree with you, but we can't bring about change without working within the system & tools we have"
"But I thought we were building a new system, and a new set of tools"
"Ok let's considering what our alternatives to a credit union may be"
"I'm not sure I like the word 'alternatives', we want it to be the new standard, maybe we should use the word standard"
"Shall we raise a motion to rename the motion to explore our endeavor to create a non-profit financial vessel?"
"Is vessel really the right word?"
And so on...
