Yeah, in the times where we would most need to all work together, 25%-50% of people in many western nations would rather intentionally abolish intellectual progress, science and common sense, just so they can spend their lives sitting there going “Na na na na na can’t hear you” with their fingers in their ears.
Pass the buck to the next generation.
Granted, it is this very fear - that we’re the generation that gets to see all the shit hit the fan - that causes the fascist parties like the AfD, the Republicans or the Tories to be able to woo their voters. But it’s so sad that it works, especially because a lot of AfD voters do have kids. And do have someone sitting at the table they want to actively fuck the world up for.
