They don't realise that it's gonna be their own funeral, too. Sure, Elmo and Bebos will most likely die of old age (or drug abuse) in a few decades but many of those cunts are under 30, and they absolutely will have to deal with the apocalyptic consequences of their actions.
And it's not just them at this point; thousands of politicians and property developers are in it as well. I don't think most of them are trying to do harm, they're just blinded by greed.
They know that things are going to be shit. They just wasn't the nicest yacht to live on when it does.
I think if they could fully comprehend what was happening right now, they wouldn't do it.
It's a hydra though. If a capitalist leader/billionaire/oil super power abdicates, all available capitalists swarm to fill the vacancy and rake in the power and profits that were given up.
They don't care the world is ending due to their greed and corruption, they just want to be rich and powerful.
