>It's like society hardly even functions anymore. Because it doesn't. We aren't meant to live like we live. We're hyper-individualized, alienated, and atomized by our relations to the means of production. We're all mercenary wage slaves just trying to get enough scratch to escape the rat race for a few years before we kick the bucket. Nearly all of those that don't really have this concern (aka the already-set-for-life crowd) seem to be preternaturally greedy and devoid of empathy. The deterioration of society under these conditions isn't exactly surprising. Hoping to retire to either Europe or the middle of fucking nowhere within a decade.
