I believe it is because there is a chronic issue where the lower classes believe we are entirely unable to force the higher classes to do anything and the higher classes are the ones doing the most damage, so we excuse ourselves. But we could make real change if people stopped being woosies and just brought out the guillatines...
That could solve the societal and class issues. But I doubt it will have any positive effect on the environment. As I already said, people of all classes in general don't care about the environment as long as they would have to endure even slight discomfort while saving it.
Well given that most of the wealthy are very old and control all of the means of production, and because they don't care about the environment, as they'll be too old to experience all of the drawbacks, I believe a class revolution would put a lot more younger people in positions to make real change, and in my experience, younger people tend to actually care about the environment more than most older individuals.
You know, I would love to believe that. I really want. But if we look at election results, population surveys and other sources, then this is simply not true.
In the young population groups there are about 5% to 10% more people who care about the environment enough to actually cause a change. But that still only comes down to 30% in total in the age groups 25 to 45. The age group below 25 is almost as bad as the current old generation. They shifted back from being greens to being nazis.
So yeah. Even in the most environmentally aware generation 70% of people don't give a shit! And the dislikes on my original comment are proving me right.
