If by 'we' you mean the billionaires and political leaders in a position to do something, then absolutely.
We are voting for and consuming from those saboteurs. We could do otherwise AND incite something else.
Who is "we", my friend?
People with active/passive voting rights and above global average purchasing power: People in stable representative democracies with mixed economies.

Better a rich useful idiot, than a rich enemy.

What keeps you from getting voted then?
copious amounts of money for a political campaign, or terrible ethics so i could accept to pass shitty laws later in exchange for it
Don't forget you're uncharismatic and don't know how to run a campaign!
money can fix that
