As if they weren’t told, or didn’t know at all. Perhaps it’s that for those whose trade is identity politics, anything outside their accepted dogma is dismissed as a plan by those with other identities, rather than genuine, honest communications. “Piensa el ladrón que son todos de su condición.”—the thief assumes everyone else steals too.</p><p>We seem all unable to acknowledge what we have done and continue to do to the environment and therefore to ourselves. When did we forget nature is finite and that we are part of it. When was it deemed acceptable to let society-wide decisions with deep long-term impacts be taken by a few rich corporations in connivance with spineless short-termist politicians. When was democracy reduced to voting every few years and never holding elected representatives accountable for their time in office.</p><p>It’s beyond frustrating to know and to witness the inaction. Like a slow-motion train wreck.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/EcosystemCollapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EcosystemCollapse</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/GlobalWarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalWarming</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/LifestyleChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LifestyleChange</span></a></p>
