I think the ingrained "every person for themselves" attitude is more fundamentally a problem. Fix one expression of it and 10 more will turn up.
- kube-system 1y agoThat's the long term result of constant propaganda by the same folks who are also working towards regulatory capture. The same groups who put up billboards and political ads begging the American people to bend over backwards for big business, because clearly any accountability is a restriction on freedom™. Somehow they've managed to literally convince people that, if you can't dump the acid mine drainage and waste frack water in a local river, everyone is going to lose their job and the power grid will go dark. If you convince enough people to believe this shit, you win regulatory capture.
