| Comment | Eh, their mindset is more 'nobody is better than they ought to be' which allows for things to improve because having nice things is what God intended for you all along.
I don't base this just on a pissy stereotype, for a while I worked on a community group (not in Glasgow, but nearby West of Scotland) and it staggered me that there was this persistent, substantial minority of people who were absolutely and fundamentally opposed to any change or improvement in their lives *even when it came with absolutely zero negative impacts* - people who openly stated that they didn't see why things should change in response to any attempt to make things better
One example that absolutely flabbergasted me was when we were trying to get a big load of old lead waterpipework replaced for a group of houses. It was being entirely paid for through grants, absolutely no cost or effort required from anyone other than having their supply cut off for a few hours to switch from old pipes to new.
Not just one, but several local folk *explicitly lodged complaints to stop the work going ahead* and I quote, "we've been drinking leaded water for decades and it's never done us any harm".
(I mean, there might be a specific correlation in that example, but I have many others) |
