Degrees of Separation of Culpability. How the Plutocrats are carrying out a global mass slaughter.

[Speck Tater]

17. Mass death is NOT O.K., just inevitable given overshoot.

And my point was simply that our American standard of living is only possible by exploiting others around the world, and when we are forced to pay the true cost of our luxury, we complain. We are accustomed to our privileged status in the world, and prefer not to acknowledge that it depends on exploiting others. The 1% exploit us, and we, the 5% globally, exploit the others. No, we are not all the 1%, but we are damn near all the top 5%, considered globally. Globalization spreads the wealth around, we object to that just like the 1% objects to their wealth being spread around.
