Anyone else feel like the reason why humanity doesn’t bother to fix important issues for a long time is because the people simply don’t care enough to group up and fix them. I mean when I try to educate folks on complex problems they often seem like they don’t want to discuss it and quickly defend the status quo saying “that’s just how things are”

But we can’t keep ignoring these issues because then it could delay necessary progress for thousands of years.

      I mean the US has done a lot of genocide. Hitler took inspiration from how the US dealt with it’s native people. It’s not that strange that a nation founded on genocide and slavery is okay with that.

      The statistically low levels of crime we are currently experiencing do not support your hypothesis.

    most people are caught up in their own day to day lives. it’s just the nature of things.

    you have to go to work to pay your bills. your girlfriend wants to go out to dinner every once in a while. you have to go have dinner at your parents. you have to walk your dog. you have to brush your teeth, do your laundry. you have to figure out what you’re gonna eat for dinner. should probably schedule that dentist appointment soon. need to do my taxes.

    etc

    really doesn’t leave you that much time or energy to worry about the big problems of the world.

      That’s pretty accurate! I just wish they wouldn’t be so insistent on defending the status quo when it has problems like world hunger.

        “Put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others.”

        There’s little to nothing I can do to fix world hunger, if I can’t feed myself.

            There are also very few people who take everything extremely literally, yet here you are.

              I dont understand what youre saying then. You literally made an analogy for an emergency situation in which you make sure of your own survival first, then tend to others.

                I apologize for my snarky remark, but I’m not playing this game with you.

    This lack of concern for our neighbors was crafted by the elites so that we won’t organize against them.

    When we’re hurt, angry, scared, broke, stressed out, we become selfish, like animals backed into a corner.

    The elites have studied this and they know exactly how far they can push us before we fight back. They are keeping us hurt and angry so that we won’t work together and they stay in power forever.
