It's easier for people to believe in a personified evil with a face that can be hated and a body that can be killed than it is for them to accept that many of our biggest problems are intractable hyperobjects which are simultaneously nobody's fault and everybody's fault.

I do not think anyone would have a problem with intractable hyperobjects if the King, Prime Minister, and others also had to wait in the same queue at the emergency room.

What people have a problem with is that the problem seems to be tractable for some, and not for others, and whether or not those “some” are worthy of it.

If the wealthy and connected were forced to access the same services as the rest of us, the services would be better.
