      Bad behavior goes back forever, but many cultures dealt with it as a community. A person acting out was seen as a symptom of a group problem.

      Now, with everything hyper individualized, and with capitalism in its metastatic era, it’s nearly impossible to hold anyone accountable when they can just flip around and say, “I wanted the money,” and a solid 20% of the population will attack anyone who says that shouldn’t be the primary driver of our society.

        We don’t have communities anymore.

        We have Daddy Sam who will let Daddy Capital fuck you any day as much as desired. We have only circle jerks over ran by feds, shills and bots.

        We work so much so we can’t really maintain normal relationships which actually build community, shit it is hard to do basic errands because cucking for daddy is more “important”
