Error due to letting jobs that should be done by moral agents be done by machines?
Or a sign of a generation raised (largely) without moral or historical understanding?
Mind you, in Germany they are pretty good at cultural and societal self examination.

Our "leaders" are pretending to the world that they can solve this. No, the real leaders are on the streets and behind the protest banners. Until the real leaders are in leadership positions in govt we'll still have fossil fuel companies paying for fake solutions. #VoteGreen

@MandyLifeboat They know they have to find a reason that's peculiar to the UK (specifically to Britain not including Northern Ireland). But they mustn't mention the real causes. So they note that we had a day off for a funeral.

Yes we're in a #recession.
(Did anyone yet hear Brexit mentioned on the BBC?)
But what we most need is not some crazy dash for growth.
Our real crisis is inequality and low wages.
There's plenty to go round. But it's on the rich man's table and the door is shut.

As we recall the hurts of past wars, and count our own blessings if we are not in a war zone, let us also remember that our consumer greed is even now destroying lands where others live, stoking war, exploitation & displacement at an unprecedented scale. #COP27 #RemembranceDay
