    It’s a comforting thought, to believe destroying the world is their goal.

    But no. In truth they simply don’t think about it. Their path to the power and resources that would save them and theirs from the world’s destruction might hasten that destruction. But that doesn’t matter. It’s easier for them to simply not think about it. They’re going to have everything they need to live a comfortable life, no matter the environment it brings about. They’re going to be fine.

    What happens to the rest of us? It’s not even that they don’t care. We don’t matter enough for them to not care about us. We matter so little, our future doesn’t even occur to them.

    It’s not evil. It’s apathy.
    I’m not sure which is worse.

      It’s not really apathy but as you said it’s pouring themselves first. Young Republicans are angry fools trying to own the libs and old Republicans are greedy power hungry assholes trying to pretend they are JC Denton when in reality they are Bob Page.
