(for me the main one are the tankie scum devs)

This right here is the crux of the problem and why the problem goes back so much further. We teach kids to focus on individual achievement, to celebrate the self, and we don’t teach empathy, something that needs to be taught young but the west increasingly considers weakness and a dirty word.

When fail to teach citizens of a society collectivism, because being a member of a society means you are part of a collective whether you decide to be a good collective that functions or one that operates against itself (herp derp competition!) that does not, you get communication like this.

“I hate these people fuck them they should me more like MEEEE” “their opinions suck because they aren’t more like MIIIINE” and we act as a bunch of petulant infants that resent each other’s very existence in OUR world.

If we were taught that it is our responsibility to lift one another up, if we rewarded people in society on the basis of who and how many others they’ve helped and not how much they hoarded for THEMSELVES, this wouldnt be as much of a problem.

The problem is, how do you start such a virtuous cycle when everyone from the owners down are only concerned with “ME ME ME?”

Then again you hate tankies, so go ahead and cuss me out for calling out the reality that capitalism, especially when it has effectively conquered the culture, turns people into selfish little gremlins more likely to rage at a stranger than help them.
