13494093, capitalism + tragedies = rugged individualism

I don't personally know anyone who was killed in Gaza at the moment, I can still feel sadness and mourn for them.

Happy that you didn't lose any loved ones to Covid...but 'advantage' and 'blessing' are words I would NEVER associate to this pandemic, regardless of how it impacted my own personal circle.

The rugged individualism we have now is likely a coping mechanism for late-stage capitalism and the impending collapse of society as a whole.

This is precisely why I think we are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse today then ever before.
