Its normal for human society- once the hardship sets in, the mammoth has been eaten, mean spiritness sets in. The truth is, we never managed to create a stable society in economical unstable conditions, so everytime people start to starve - the world falls apart.
Ironically even the counter-measures we come up with (Law & Order in a thousand variants/ various dreams of a big Swage elsewhere/Migration & New Beginnings elsewhere) only enhance and propel the problem of a tribe switching to a war-economy.
We are obviously in the process of finding various solutions. David Brins Panopticum of everyone. Permanent social records, that will not forget and will not be silent on your crimes, making you a social outcast for genocidre.
Cheap entertainment, that reduces the effect of social self-devaluation of unemployed citizens.
May we out-live this interesting times.
- jaredklewis 9y agoBut who is starving? Even poor people in the US are well off by historical and world standards. In fact poor in the US have a very different problem: obesity.
- Pica_soO 9y agoParticipation in society - you can starve on chances. You will not be dad of a family, if you play video games all day long. You will have constant stress, keeping from falling into the social abyss, so you starve on security. There is more to a existance then a filled belly.
