The state and the media blamed workers considered not productive enough for the loss of their factories in the 70s. For the past twenty years, they’ve been blaming this same generation for environmental pollution. It would be the people who polluted without regard for the environment. It’s the same strategy for the same end: pit one part of the population against another and divert people’s anger away from the real culprits: the industry owners and the politicians who serve them instead of representing their citizens.
