I see.

I think my biggest concern is actually not how it's described but rather
why/that it is different at all (and then wondering whether it will stay
that way...)

Our civilization is being sacrificed for the opportunity of a very small number
of people to continue making enormous amounts of money...  It is the sufferings
of the many  which pay  for the luxuries  of the few...  You say  you love your
children  above all else,  and yet  you are stealing  their future  in front of 
their very eyes... (Greta Thunberg)
