    I refuse to accept that they don’t know the negative effects of what they’re doing. That’s exactly why they’re doing it. Those are the intended effects

      Well, I agree that is true a LOT of the time. I’m just skeptical of reductive explanations for complex issues. There are too many pols, in too many countries, over too many decades, in too many wildly diff pol parties, and even a lot of NON-pols like parent groups, for a single explanation to feel likely.

      So I agree with you… to a point. I just don’t wanna be too black and white. We can fight it better if we try to understand what drives different groups toward the same goal.

        Can you explain why so many politicians, in many countries, over many decades, in many wildly different political parties are all converging together towards a common goal?
