There is a social collapse occurring but it’s not due to some “moral failing” of individuals or something. It’s because any and all opportunity to socialize and exist without the expectation to spend or make money has been slowly squeezed out. Things that were sustainable but not growing have been bought and hallowed out to increase their profit. Any sort of friction in our lives is ruthlessly stomped out
And in spite of all that effort to maximize productivity, we’re still driving off a cliff economically. So we get an economic break down due to incompetent leadership at companies, and we get a social break down because there is a constant ever present attempt to center our entire lives around corporate profit at the expense of civil society.
