      And yet millions who should know better won’t care.

      They are motivated to know better by the belief that governmental failure will hurt others more than them, giving them an elevated sense of social status when compared against a vast misery that will befall the Other:

      If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you. — Lyndon Johnson

      Human society fails because enough people will swap treating others with decency for being told they’re ‘special’ because they’re not (currently) going to be rounded up and sent to a re-education camp.

        I believe killer Mike said it best

        Funny fact about a cage, they’re never built for just one group So when that cage is done with them and you still poor, it come for you The newest lowest on the totem, well golly gee, you have been used You helped to fuel the death machine that down the line will kill you too (oops) Pseudo-Christians, y’all indifferent, kids in prisons ain’t a sin? Shit If even one scrap of what Jesus taught connected, you’d feel different What a disingenuous way to piss away existence, I don’t get it I’d say you lost your goddamn minds if y’all possessed one to begin with

          “Jesus said that I’m right, that’s it. So do what I say!” Continues to act in ways entirely contrary to what is presented as the words of Jesus.
