Once you realise that they all think we have less than 10 years to the total collapse of civilisation, everything they do makes sense.

This. Hording wealth that loses its value in 10 years makes no sense.
I think it’s one of those things that when you see it you can’t unsee it.
It’s heavily tied to whether you are looking at actual climate and resource data or just following the day to day shenanigans.
I’ve tried to offer a bit more context in a different response a bit lower, but I’d say the best thing to do is go get engaged in conversation with people who are seeing it.
As far as I can tell there is a part of the population that simply doesn’t want to see this either. On Lemmy it seems to be around 20% but I think the overall population is probably closer if not over 60%. It’s a really full on realisation and reality shifting experience for people who have done everything by the book, went to university, bought the house, did the making kids thing, paying mortgages, watch the tv shows and talk about the tv shows to people at “parties”.
It’s hard to have that whole American Dream paradigm fall apart.
ETA: to illustrate this point, there are people going to downvote this comment, and a bunch of my previous ones, just because they don’t want others to also experience reading this. Fck man, I was hoping this wouldn’t become reddit so fast.
