All of the “grrrrrr human nature bad!” people are blissfully unaware for how long ruling classes or even the same lineage of family in areas has ruled over humanity, siphoning off the joy and labor of society for their own diamond back scratchers.

In the modern day, any form of help or assistance that could be used for the well-being of the people is instead commodotized and/or trivialized to maximize profits. Public spaces, works, and goods are all basically non-existent, so your reliance for community is based on local word of mouth or the internet, however an increasingly car dependent society limits the ability of people to have accessible common places to meet up. Social media companies have been taking increasing efforts in making their apps shittier which imo is a strategic move to deplatform minority voices who have been gaining social media presence.

I think for a while the internet was still untouched enough to be a nice escape, but it really feels like every aspect that was a nice reprieve or break from the rest of the world has been invaded.
