Chesterton’s fence. One should not remove a fence until one learns why it was erected in the first place. By all means, learn why!
The current administration is causing huge amounts of damage and suffering by blindly removing and eliminating things without understanding why those things were created and maintained.
It’s less about them not understanding and more about them not thinking it matters. The wealthy think they can strip mine society without consequence or meaningful pushback, and in the short term they have been right. The rich Americans of the future will not have to same global reach that they do now, but this generation of oligarchs is absolutely selfish and proud of it. They don’t really give a fuck if their kids inherit their empire, or get burned at the stake. Line go up, and most of them won’t live to see the system the take for granted crumble into irrelevancy.
