Sometimes I'm surprised very little of them are upset about climate change and capitalism because it threatens recreation.
Oceans filled with plastic? Rent and house price alike are both too expensive to live anywhere near the beach? Hiking trails become littered with plastic? Hell, walkable cities are filled with amenities giving someone a lot of ways to spend their time. Granted, I don't think neither nature nor architecture qualifies as "treats" let alone something burgerlanders care that much about.
It isn't individually owned by some petty "middle class" asshole so they don't care if it is ruined as long as they got theirs compared to the poors.
