Australia is doing what the US is doing too ? Nothing like ensuring your next generation grows up stupid :) Now I have my tin-foil-hat on: I almost wonder the top 1%, due to climate change, decided to siphon off even more $ from their government by cutting education to the bone. This extra $ will allow them to create a walled utopia for them when Climate Change destroys most of the earth. But in the past this has been tried many times before, they need workers (slaves) and eventually this utopia will disintegrate. This time rather quickly. They may be able to buy about 10 to 20 years, but their grandchildren will end up living like the rabble. So instead of really solving the problem, the top 1% is doubling down and saying "I will be great, climate change will not impact me, so there".

I don’t think there’s much evidence that it’s a conscious conspiracy. Really, it’s just a consequence of every actor in the system behaving according to their script.

Yes millions of people across multiple countries/continents all secretly colluded to execute this poorly thought out plan that works in a "stars align" scenario. Or you are just using your worldview narratives to explain events that have simpler explanations in line with evidence ?

  It is a joke, didn't you see the "tin-foil" hat phrase? But there to get people thinking abut the why as opposed to the what.

    No I get that part, I'm just saying you're clearly projecting your worldviews and trying to make reality fit that narrative rather than the other way around.

  >Yes millions of people across multiple countries/continents There doesn’t need to be collusion if it is in everyone’s self interest. If it is in the interest of wealth preservation to buy and then control land which will be less affected by climate change, investments will go there. It’s not a huge leap from there to ‘walled utopia’ especially if the landmass is small. Maybe it also ‘makes sense’ in someone’s calculus to cut social and educational spending. Maybe this calculus is present in multiple countries.
