The real debacle is between the people who agree that in our nation with such vast resources and technology, everyone should get their basic needs met, and the people who want to live larger than others, and insist some people deserve to die in the streets for not being hard enough workers, or making mistakes, or whatever other bullshit irrational false narrative they come up with to revel in the suffering of others.

The saddest bit to me are all the non-wealthy at all Americans who will fight you to the death for the second one. They refuse to live without an economic class of people to look down on as they drink in the dopamine hit of schadenfreude, watching those suffering human beings, and declaring "good, that's what you deserve for your bad decisions or something, suffer more!"

That's why I agree with you that the world will burn, but why I don't find it that sad in the US with our near univeral punch down attitude. We tell our most victimized citizens to fuck off and die on the sidewalk, we throw them away like the defective capital batteries our owners consider them, so unlike the increasingly rare societies that care for one another rather than worshipping capitalist economic growth/metastasis at all costs, we won't get, nor do we deserve a future.
