    Exactly. Our problems stem from ordinary people, most of whom either protect and fund the billionaires or actively revere them.

    What fraction of Americans want to end factory farming? How many want to disincentivize car use or even - heaven forbid - raise gas prices? Almost no one. The average person on this planet is a selfish shortsighted monster.

      I wouldn’t go for monster for most people, more like smart animals. Survival instinct based on reaction time and so on.
