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.”

      Neat, so do a lot of people who work but cant afford rent, and a lot of homeless people who tried and got screwed over for their trouble, and a lot of people with mental and physical health issues it was a roll of the dice they’d get rather than you. If you feel that way about the people in your society, they shouldn’t care about pissing on your lawn or worse beyond getting caught by police the capital holder defense force, which isn’t winning the underlying debate, it’s just pointing a gun at someone when you can’t win the debate.

      Thank you for being a prime example of what I’m talking about, friend.
