Ethics and environmental destruction are "convenient shiny arguments"?? Go fuck yourself you delusional shill. Praying for a billionaire saviour while gagging on their boots, fuck you.

Most people don't give a shit about ethics and the environment. They care about the well being of themselves, the well being those close to them, and their comfort, ABOVE ALL ELSE. even if they won't admit it to themselves.

Delusional? I wish I was. Look at the last 30 years, how many protested to get climate change taken seriously? How many raised their voices against various human rights violations around the world? A drop in a bucket, that's how many. Most people just don't give a shit about anything that doesn't affect them and it's plain to see.

So yes, for majority of people, ethics and environmental destruction are “convenient shiny arguments” that make them feel good about themselves when they virtue signal them on social media and then forget about them 5min later.

Curse me all you want, the world of today is of our collective making.
