Why do Americans talk about transgender bathrooms and flag burning when we are in the 6th mass extinction in world history?

I don't care what team you are playing for, there are major issues that will affect future generations.

People in the west are becoming minorities in their own nations due to migration, global warming is heating our planet so fact that it is unsustainable, there is a giant plastic island in he Pacific ocean twice the size of texas, and corporations literally run our country, etc...

The point is that it seems like flag burning, trans gender bathroom rights, abortion, gay marriage, and school prayer type things get more social attention than real issues.

Is it because the people now live in the lap of luxury, compared to a century or centuries ago, and inasmuch they don't care about the real issues that will affect their own lives that they just not yet be experiencing?

    Your question is “Why?” A mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong, that’s why.

    I believe in the wisdom of "think globally, act locally." So what are you personally doing to redress mass extinction and a warmer Earth?
