MODERATORS
No they didn't. Sure, the people who made that decision are human, but "humans" implies it was a collective decision. You and I had no say in it. There are like 100 people in the world who make all the decisions. They're the ones benefiting from the destruction of the earth, and they're the ones responsible. We weren't given a vote.
You can't absolve "us" of all the responsibility. We wouldn't be in this situation if the masses weren't so easy to manipulate into supporting corruption. The vast majority of us would take the quick-and-easy-yet-destructive path over the long-and-hard-productive one most of the time. Remove those 100-or-whatever by violent revolution tomorrow, and someone else will rise to the top of the stink heap the next day. Real change requires sacrifice at all levels of society.
