Yeah, there’s alot of people feeling anxiety about it and we can see the world around us sliding, but the people who are ultimately responsible for trashing the environment are the ones who are feeling apathetic. They’ve gotten their wealth at the expense of the planet, and when things get shittier, they’ll hole themselves up in their silos and bunkers, each carrying on with their own Masque of the Red Death, but they’ll succumb in the end.
I wouldn’t say they’re pathetic, I think it’s more that they don’t dare anger the shareholders/owner class.
Shareholders/Owners to C- suits: “What, you’re worried about a few more devastating storms and food shortages? That’s for the poors to worry about! We pay you enough not to care, now back to work making us trillionaires!”
Because god forbid the share price drops 2 points because they’re trying to destroy the planet a little less.
