Feedback loop and the runaway train.

I tend to blame ordinary people's lifestyles, consuming habits and voting patterns for our problems; for the most part. Institutions and corporations follow the mass market, but they do amplify the trends in a feedback loop. Advertising, lobbying and money plays a big role in that feedback loop.

Now it looks like USA is a runaway train toward right wing authoritarianism, that most people don't want. Much of this, the law of unintended consequences. As the situation gets obvious, hopefully more people are now pushing the train in a different direction. People tend to respond to crisis. Pendulums tend to swing.
