I am amazed by all the people that, when faced with having to give up some of the first-world luxury they are used to, flip completely in their head. It is the opposite of not-in-my-backyard: Don't take from my backyard, pls.

Yes, I would rather have the current distribution continue, where hundreds of millions are literally starving, where there are people who would kill to live like this, where people are walking through the desert and taking dinghies over oceans for shit like this, just so I can have my amenities.

Absolutely wild. We're so doomed.

Why are you amazed? Have you lived your whole life under a rock? People have always been like this, it's never been hidden or even remotely pretended otherwise.
