“They never did what was necessary, so why should I?”
“They aren’t doing anything right now, so why should I?”
“I’m not going to personally experience it, so why should I do anything about it?”
“I probably won’t personally experience it, so why should I do anything about it?”
“Doing something is ‘too hard’, ‘too expensive’, or ‘too something’, so I’m not going to do it!”
“Doing something is immoral or unethical in my personal belief system, so I’m not going to do it!”
Add it all up and it’s basically impossible to get anything done without powerful (and rich?) ideologues. The challenge, which democracy was supposed to solve, is how to put those people in place without bloodshed.
Humans are basically useless.
