It’s a genetic failing of our species. We constantly have people trying to be in control and then control the wealth and resources. There’s a lot of people that worship or need to follow those in power. Our brains are wired this way, whether it be hoarding toilet paper for a crisis or hoarding wealth and power to control the crisis, or lauding the hoaders.
If we cannot suppress or regulate these extremes sufficiently we won’t survive the impending climatological and resource collapse. Everyone will hoard to be the last one standing on the burning dumpster.
