Humans have been propagandized too hard into being selfish, low empathy and ableist to ever work together effectively. We will suffer under this system until collapse takes us out because we are that shitty at doing the one thing humans are supposed to be good at (working together to make our environments safe). In the current way of things, there is too much of an incentive to be selfish and too much of a punishment for basic decency.

but it takes continuous effort to maintain the relentless abuse that creates these incentives. as the system collapses, all of that social machinery will evaporate and the perverse incentives will disappear. this can be seen during disasters and power outages, when sometimes the unspoken social rules that keep people alienated are suddenly and temporarily suspended and many people report experiencing unprecedented feelings of solidarity and community. humans will spontaneously organize when the incentives to do otherwise are gone.

Please watch this. It’s the most bloomer (literally) thing I’ve seen in months and I don’t even live in a country where these issues really exist

Each generation needs to be propagandized, because it's our nature to help each other and strive for fairness.

In my opinion, we shouldn't judge humanity by how we survive in a system that rewards cruelty. Under capitalism, empathy is weakness and people who talk about the "real world" are ones that have accepted that cruelty is part of the game. Those people also can't imagine a world beyond capitalism, which is why they attribute the cruelty to humanity instead of the system we're under.

Communism will win. It's easy for me to forget that it's still young from a historical perspective. We're just over 100 years since the first socialist state, which is like one person. There are millions of people today that are older than the PRC, which in that time has raised hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and reshaped the global economy. Capitalism is in decline and socialism is on the rise, which is most obvious when looking across decades.

I firmly believe that under a system that encourages cooperation instead of cruelty, our culture will be almost unrecognizable from today's. I also firmly believe that the system will change for the better.

Getting from here to there is gonna be absolute hell, but people will fight for a better world just like they have throughout history.

I feel like there's something to be said in this: if being an evil and uncaring piece of shit rewards you and allows you to continue living, and trying to do good gets you punished or otherwise killed, then that would explain why good people seem so few and powerless. Thinking about it, if the good people keep dying and the bad ones keep living, then it's the bad ones who will establish the standards for future generations.

Not much to say but I feel the same

The inherent social nature of humans isn't completely lost, you still see it sometimes when someone is in need of help in the street for example (more likely if they're white and have no signs of being a filthy commie)

I definitely have those thoughts but then I go around and end up meeting random strangers who are so nice and I remember how everywhere I've ever been there are really nice people who are willing to go out of their way to help people. There are certainly way too many people who are really against good and maybe you've found yourself physically located in an area where they are highly concentrated but I promise it's not even a majority of people, it's just that the average nice person isn't as visible because they are probably working some job they hate or doing chores or aren't allowed to live in your area or something
