i'll wager, from an armchair mind you, that this is because decrepeit Scrooges see it as a plus that the people from the regions most affected as "lesser people", while also holding on to money and ensuring states militarize to defend that money from increasingly pissed of people.

so TLDR ig racist old dudes appreciating what fascism does for 'em.

this is just an armchair assessment fron me though. why is fossil fuel still being used?

    That almost seems like a wilful misinterpretation of what I wrote, since I never claimed anything of the sort.

    What makes you completely wrong is that you're using the fact that petroleum companies are filthy rich and bribe politicians to hell and back as an explanation for why we're still reliant of fossil fuels. The basic answer to why is that "fossil fuels and combustion engines are pretty damn hard to beat" to the point where we still haven't found a viable alternative for some applications.
