    I feel bad for them. They’ve got a shit lot in that they know they’re causing damage and they could stem that tide, but in doing so would have to give up what they know and have poured their lives into so far.

    Not everyone’s ready to sacrifice their comfort or livelihoods for others and jump when there’s no guarantee they’ll be caught by the social safety net.

    There will always be someone desperate and ready to deny the truth of their surroundings to fill the gap left, though.

      That’s big of you. I can sympathise with someone who’s doing bad things, but when they’re intellectually dishonest about it as well I start feeling like glassing everything and letting life start over.

      It’s just so damn hopeless. If that’s the level we’re at the atrocities will never stop, and we’ll keep blaming the other guy for it.
