@lain @noyoushutthefuckupdad "it's somebody elses problem to fix" seems to be the mindset, i don't litter in my town because i don't want litter in my town, because seeing garbage on the street pisses me off.

it's about social status, if you were not looking at them, they would stop caring, they can litter as much as they like as long as they think nobody is looking at them, if they get caught littering, the mistake they learned wasn't that they shouldn't litter, it should be that they didn't hide it well enough, people who live for the respect they have for others, but do not hold any respect for themselves, and never scrutinize themselves, will practice this behaviour all the time
