hisao@ani.social 3 days agoBeing “social” often involves power dynamics games. Often that’s even part of the culture. Sometimes people who are not interested in that notice each other and proceed to their own comfy wavelength, but it’s not something I would expect in average “social group”.

Teaching American exceptionalism for over a hundred years then over the past fifty defunding education systematically. The fact that the country was built on slavery then had Jim Crow officially until the 70s. Unofficially it’s still around. The red scare that has had people automatically reject social improvements if they benefit everyone. Zero-sum thinking.
So many reasons Americans are taught to sociopaths. We could go on and on. Yet at least half of us don’t think like that. But we have no power.
