This is one of the biggest problems of our times, I feel. And a lot of it has grown out of those people who want to “save the planet” and constantly show that they are doing it. It’s a cancer that is eating human civilisation alive. And I don’t even feel that’s hyperbole…
There’s a quote commonly attributed to Josef Švejk[1]: “Don’t those idiots see where they’re shooting? There are people here!”
I can’t remember it from the book, but then I read it ages ago. I really should re-read it when I have time. Probably, the quote is from one of the movies, though. ↩︎
