    That is definitely a major factor, it’s just not the only one. People seem to believe the world operates like a comic book with designated villains do all the bad things and everybody else is just a victim. Individual behavior is also a factor. I mean what’s the dominant gospel on Boomers - that they irresponsibly polluted the Earth and wasted all the resources, or that they were innocent victims of a few evil billionaires?

        Interesting - the idea that rich people weren’t taking advantage of everybody else all through history until they just started uniquely victimizing the current generation seems mind-bogglingly unaware tbh.
