A society in which it’s everyone for themselves, that refuses to care for one another, is no society at all. Then everyone acts shocked and horrified at someone who understandably snaps, like modern western culture doesn’t run entirely on schadenfreude.
That was the crux of the idea of a social contract, which is long dead in the US. Now people line up to revel in the suffering of their fellow citizens with “well you were stupid to do xyz in life, so you deserve your suffering haha.”
It’s war. You see it in vets, you see it in cops, you see it in gangsters, you see it in abused people. Life is war imo. I didn’t start off like that until gangster raped my life. Chaos will always reign supreme above governments, and order that comes from natural chaos will always triumph over man made order.
