    Theory: they know. They know we’re in trouble, that we need to take action, that we can fix the problems. They know that they’re wrong and that they’re making things worse, but they don’t care about being right or making the word better, they only care about winning. To change is to admit defeat and, therefore, lose, so the only way to win is to make sure that your opponents lose too.

      I think it’s even easier than that. Remember when you left your dirty dishes in the sink yesterday and thought that’s a problem for the tomorrow guy (or girl)? That’s them, on a global scale, all the time.

        As someone debating if I should wash the dishes before I go to bed right now, this hurt. I am going to the kitchen and do it, but for this evening at least I am not going to like you. (joking, thank you, tomorrow me will thank you too!)
