I don't think denial is apathy or a response to dealing with other problems. Denial is a product of a massive disinformation campaign. There is a reason the rest of the world (in places with worse problems than in USA) doesn't have the same level of denial.
- mindslight 7y agoIf it is simply a disinformation campaign, then why hasn't that disinformation campaign been waged more equally across different countries? Even if the US is one of the largest markets to maintain, surely there would also be great value in eroding the European consensus. I'd argue that the overriding moderator is culture, with global warming being much more inconvenient for the car-based consumption treadmill. > There is a reason the rest of the world (in places with worse problems than in USA) It's not about real problems that people directly struggle with, but rather political "problems" that mass media turns into a divisive frenzy.
