Extreme inequality between rich and poor is a feature of capitalism, an inevitable and desired result. Another feature is contemptible disregard for those less fortunate.
As the world continues heating up, millions or even billions of disadvantaged humans in the Global South will suffer the consequences of rampant consumerism and capitalist greed in the Global North.
This is all deliberate. It's not an accident.
That's how capitalism works: shift the damage of our lifestyles far away so we don't have to see it or think about it.
