Civilizations, societies, communities. The Apollo program. The National Park Service. Emancipation. Everything good we're capable of as a species comes from working together.
The mass weaponization of it is, of course, a problem.
We need to be better at removing anti social parasites at the top but instead we got majority accepting these parasites as their lords and saviors.
Something ain't right
Ah, I think what you're looking at there is called "capitalism." It's what enables selfish anti-social/sociopathic behavior without triggering our societal inclination to kick them out.
You are removing agency from people by blaming capitalism sure that's the system of property ownership we have
It doesn't directly result in bootlicking population ie other countries with similar property rights ain't as much of bootlickers as we are.
They expect their ruling class to deliver some base QoL, Americans overall too lapring cultural wars their handlers told them on teevee
Nah, you've got cause and effect flipped. Know what we used to do when sociopaths did too much sociopathic stuff? We made the sociopaths leave. Now they have too much money, so we can't effectively do that anymore.
Of course, yes, they did create that system. But they created it so that they could retain the benefits of the society without contributing to it meaningfully.
