This is why tech has gotten so out of control in the US. In the past 40 years, this industry has had so many revolutionary inventions while our legislators on average get older and less likely to understand the newest technology, thereby making them more susceptible to being misled or misleading others. Combined with our legislators not giving a fuck about actual economics, this is how we have oligopolies everywhere in the US with cartel behavior
Things have gotten so out of control because people have gotten stupid and lazy and put up with all of this shit.
People have gotten stupid because billionaires have orchestrated the gutting of education and people are too exhausted, not "lazy", because they're overworked by billionaires.
Capitalism is always the problem. Okay, very rarely organized religion or genuine natural disasters, but almost always capitalism.
Religion is fucking up a lot more than you think
It's not warming the planet so it's definitely a backseat evil right now
So the far right Christian nationalists have nothing to do with global warming?
Sure they do, but if you think they're actually Christian more than they're capitalist, you aren't paying attention.
They are their own breed of Christian but that doesnt change the fact that religion has its play in global warming. You also have evangelicals who think allowing the world to fall apart will bring the rapture so they can all just go to heaven with their sky daddy. Then you also have the ones who dont think they should be changing anything because its all a part of God's plan. Relgion has a major play in the warming of the planet to think otherwise is very daft.
Religion is used by capitalists to manipulate the masses. They aren't actually religious though, or at least a very small minority of them.
Anyway I didn't say religion has no effect on the state of the world. I said it's not the main driver, and I fully stand by that.
Also true. It doesn't help that the most successful and influential people in this time-frame have also been widely manipulative by pulling the ladder to success up with them, dismantling education, and increasing the amount of sugar and other unhealthy things in our food
