The psychology of it all says that many will.
Think of #BoilingAFrog.
The boiling frog is an apologue describing a frog being slowly boiled alive.
The premise is that if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out, but if the frog is put in tepid water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death.
The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability or unwillingness of people to react to or be aware of sinister threats that arise gradually rather than suddenly.
@BenGoldsmith Because the action required doesn't read well for GDP and politics/society based on continual growth, extraction and profit. Added to which short term political cycles & most folk in power interested in own ยฃ gain/protected from the worst impact, esp in Global North #BoilingAFrog
So disappointing to see moronic clickbait from the likes of the Spectator and the now-farcical Telegraph denying the climate and nature emergencies, as if they aren't both now obvious to everyone.

Is the paid-for & corrupt #SCOTUS actually a slow-motion Reichstag fire for American democracy? Hitler consolidated permanent dictatorial powers within a month of the fire. For the #fascist GQP, it's one step at a time, but they are still getting there. #BoilingAFrog Ho-hum
BREAKING: In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court severely weakened the Clean Water Act in Sackett v. EPA. This is a catastrophic loss for water protections across the country and a win for big polluters, putting our communities, public health, and local ecosystems in danger.
The "queer" takeover of Pride continues. Inclusive of everyone except the same sex attracted (previously known as homosexuals). Amazed at the number of gay men enthusiastically stanning for this movement. Their misogyny is going to end up doing for them. #BoilingAFrog
Aye. Bit by bit.

They really are going to privatise the NHS, aren't they?
@dimitritomatoes @ClimateHuman We can stop it getting worse but path that that we are on wonโt so that without drastic change. If we hit 2 dregrees rise above pre industrial temps then the Earth will be a very different place. People are happy to ignore it while it doesnโt immediately impact them #boilingafrog

@DPJHodges @politicabot Dan here demonstrating clearly that the #BoilingAFrog principle applies effectively in politics even if it isn't true of the frog.
@davemacladd OMG, if the Orcs of #ERG approve of the #BrexitDeal, we can be certain it's going to be VERY VERY VERY BAD for the rest of us. It won't be a case of #boilingafrog now - it will be straight into the chip fryer for the UK, and most of us will be #burntoacrisp. ๐ข๐ฒ๐ข
In 2018 I published a book on how politicians have broken our criminal justice system.
In 2020 I published a book on how politicians lie to us about the law.
Still didnโt foresee this. The PM blaming us - the ones keeping the system running - for the state of criminal justice.
@The_RealTruth18 @IsabelOakeshott @BorisJohnson Something has to be done. Right now weโre in the pan and theyโre turning up the heat. Bit by bit. If weโre not careful weโll be boiled alive and it will be too late. #boilingafrog.
So when are we going to unite against this bollox then? When are bc we all going to come together and say f*ck off. Weโre done. Something will happen, one person, one event, will galvanise us. I just wish it would hurry up... before itโs too late #boilingafrog.
@WeDoNotLearn73 Weโre sitting in a pan of water. Theyโre slowly, ever so slowly, turning up the heat. By the time most of us realise weโre being boiled alive it will be too late. #boilingafrog.
@paunda2paunda @Stephen90182822 We already are. โTo keep us safeโ. Weโre in the pot and there turning up the heat bit by bit #boilingafrog
@NaomiLWood @zero_to_here_oh @JamesDelingpole Obey. Obey. OBEY. You will be compliant. You will kowtow before your betters with no independent thought at all. They know more than you. They are greater than you. YOU WILL OBEY. #boilingafrog.
