Well that is also true. But we’re definitely in a situation where many of the smartest and most intelligent people work for the worst causes because it pays the most and everyone has been indoctrinated to be self serving and individualist. Or they think “I need to play the game to get more power, and then I’ll be able to do some good” lol.
This is also an interesting article why-some-of-the-smartest-people-can-be-so-very-stupid.
In any case the effects of the growing climate refugees is very predictable. Neoliberal “leftist” parties will push for more immigration while calling opposition fascism and there will be growth in actual fascist parties.
It seems whatever happens, the plutocrats win. US starts foreign wars, refugees increase support for right wing. Economy is being gutted for wealth transfers, more people vote right wing. Crime is on the rise because of poor socioeconomics, people vote for harsher prisons and less spending on wellfare and education. But never ever does the mainstream talk about how the influence of plutocrats actually makes it happen, because they are stupid.
Fully agree.
So, what can be done about it?
I don’t know? Live your life. And help worthwhile causes around you as best you can. Every little bit helps, just don’t expect that rationality will prevail. And personally prepare for lean times / economic collapse, buy solar panels, learn to grow potatoes etc.
