#complacency — Public Fediverse posts

@Old_IT_geek
Sure, #AlboPM is the best of three evils (#Labor, #LNP and #PHON) but there are alternatives if voters bother to think about it longer than a couple of minutes. And, I get your point about #SkyNews but would also point out it’s free to air everywhere. Here again, if voters were to think for more than a couple of minutes, the #Murdocracy wouldn’t have such a hold on their lazy brains.

Sorry if I sound harsh, but choosing a lesser evil rather than working to get better representatives into #Parliament is just apathetic #democracy and there is an enormous price to pay for such #complacency.

Safe and effective vaccines are needed, but none are available. These events are disturbingly familiar. They invite reflection about whether the lessons learned from COVID-19 have been truly absorbed by political leaders, and even public health authorities.

Our society has learned to promote #complacency into a virtue. You call it a "moderate stance", and it's suddenly a good thing. Opposing evil is bad; it's extremist position, almost as bad as the evil itself. Complacency sounds bad too. But "hey, I don't support evil, I just keep an open mind, a moderate position here", and you're suddenly a praiseworthy person. Maybe "just a little, necessary amount of evil" is good, after all.

"I don't support slavery. I just want cheap goods, and I don't want to know how come they're cheap."

"I don't support animal cruelty, I just want cheap meat, and I don't want anyone to point out to me why it's cheap."

"I am tolerant of LGBTQ+ people, I just don't wanna see them."

"I don't want disabled people to die, I just expect that they find a job."

Things I Never Thought I’d Tolerate

I kind of hate everything about the WEF & to me, PM Carney is a huge disappointment on multiple fronts, BUT I kind of have to admit that this speech is kinda fire & I'm really glad someone pointed out that the emperor is wearing no clothes & nations need to get off their asses & do something about it.

Complacency isn't just bad for quality and improving, it can also be deadly. Just because it's always been done that way or no accidents have occurred doesn't make it the best way or a safe workplace. #complacency #safety #quality #workplace #deadly #accidents

#ClimateChange #complacency

"Although the changing climate is the biggest problem, the way we react to or ignore the changes could make a bad situation worse, experts said.

Marshall Shepherd, a University of Georgia meteorology professor who previously served as president of the American Meteorological Society, said people tend to base decisions on how they fared during past extreme weather events, including storms that didn’t end up directly affecting them. This leaves them overly optimistic that they’ll also fare well today, even though storms have grown more fierce.

He points to the Texas flooding.

'That is flash flood alley. We know that floods happen in that region all the time. ... I’ve already seen normalcy bias statements by people in the regions saying, well, we get flooding all the time,' Shepherd said, pointing out that the amount of rain that fell in only a few hours last week was anything but normal.

People need to shift how they think about disasters, even if they don’t live in the most disaster-prone locations, said Kim Klockow McClain, an extreme weather social scientist at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research who studies communicating disaster warnings and risk.

'The message needs to be, if you’re used to some degree of nuisance flooding, every so often, look at what happened in Texas and realize that this is a shifting baseline,' she said.

(. . .)

As the weather has grown more extreme, our ability to prepare for and react to it hasn’t kept pace, the scientists said.

'Infrastructure is aging in our country and is more vulnerable given the fact that there are just simply, as a matter of fact, more people living in harm’s way,' Peek said. 'As our population has continued to rise, it’s not only that we have more people in the country, it’s also that we have more people living in particularly hazardous areas like our coastal areas.'

The Trump Administration’s mass layoffs and planned cuts to agencies that study climate and help warn of and deal with disasters — the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the National Weather Service and research labs at the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Geological Survey — could further worsen the situation, several experts said."

More focus on the current genocides would keep our elected leaders from such complacency, and more importantly, such political and economic support for them.

And maybe past ones...#Rwanda was a shit show and we were ringside.

Then there's decades of us eroding #Haiti.

Yeah, we're far from saturated.

People broadly don't know enough about even just these genocides. Let alone the rest.

@Ayman how not to despair at the world’s complacency?

> Hospitals, protected under international humanitarian law, have repeatedly been hit by Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip

Despite the Guardian at least naming war crimes as what they are, such sentences hide the fact the Israel is consciously targeting the health infrastructure inside the world’s largest concentration camp since day one.

Public servants, NOT Egyptian gods.

Yet indifference and complacency have allowed the most despicable of daemons to take over every system, every agency, every element designed to govern human society.

We can't know the future & so many are struggling in this world

Those who help most struggle most

Those who help least struggle least

The #middleclass produces despots by giving of themselves more to support #capitalism & #fascism, than ever to help those in #poverty

There's this state of #apathy & #complacency, built on fear, that keeps lined the pockets of those at upper echelons of #society

Like keeping those in power appeased, that they too aren't left with nothing

We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there "is" such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and postive action.
