This thinking, the entirety of its attitude. Its why fascism was able to take root in the US.
Its the other half of the mechanism in a ratchet effect that slow walks us into deterioration.
Only revolutionary action and upheaval can take us back.

If people actually realized how fucked we are they wouldn't settle for greenwashing. We could get organized and fight back.
