And how many in their voting lifetime? About 25% according to that site.

Now how many were in their country? Surely a much smaller portion.

But we’re all to blame really, because we all take part in the system. The only way to escape blame is to not live. Although, to be clear, blame should not be evenly distributed here.

I dont think we are not all to blame. We are forced to be part of the system, as you mention, the only way of “escaping” the system is by not being alive. How can we be blamed for something that was imposed on us?

Are we forced to take a flight across the world and a cruise in a ginormous cruise ship every year? A lot of people do this. I totally agree that we’re forced to be part of the system, but that excuse only goes so far. A lot people go way, way, way beyond what we’re forced to do. Granted, we keep being told by the media and politicians mostly that it’s no big deal, but even what little they say already gets a lot of people riled up. Imagine what would happen if they told the full truth and told us the true extent of the measures that were required?

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
