The question then becomes: how do we make the people who feel excluded (and hence want to burn everything down) feel included?
By stopping austerity. Tax the wealthy and reinstate everything that’s been torn down since the new deal. Shift taxes from taxing labour to taxing assets.

Humans just aren’t actually good. We’re capable of amazing things, and also great cruelty
We’re right in the middle. The scales tip in whatever direction circumstances dictate. It’s quite something, especially because we all want to b the the “good guy”. We’re just not wired that way
Humans are selfish. It just depends on what they’re selfish with. Me? I’m selfish with my time. Others, money, or labor, or any number or combination of things. Humans are good, we just can’t agree on what ‘good’ is.
