Not until individualism and anti-government sentiments kick in I'm not saying that those things I described are good, I'm just saying they make sense in our current time. > why make it even harder by tolerating aggressive and violent behavior from others? > Isn't "protecting the weak" the whole point of civilized society over barbarism? You're right, civilization matters more, but it doesn't change the fact that human nature will always easily re-surface. Free markets, competition, individualism, money, those values sound very dangerous because to me, because they contradicts and almost negate the entire concept of civilized society. The fall of the soviet union and acute capitalistic dogmas have exacerbated the sentiment that it's "everyone for himself".
