Nope - I wish that were a generalization. There’s a reason sayings like “don’t mix family and business” are so ubiquitous. We deserve the late-stage capitalism we’ve earned and it’s getting exhausting pretending enough humans can be selfless enough to actually have nice things.
Case and point: You still wear your N95 mask in public because Covid is still a thing, right? RIGHT!? Didn’t think so. That’s one off-the-cuff example of how all-enompassing everyone’s individualism is when it comes to trying to have an actual humble, altruistic culture.
If I’m wrong, every fucking thing about the last 5 years would be different. Boycotted any oligarchs lately? Should I continue? The evidence is ample.
Honestly not as dumb as thinking everyone born in the last 78 years is selfish.
Generalize much?

I do wear an N95 in public. I had COVID twice and still have long COVID symptoms. I’ve refused to be cavalier with my health since the pandemic.
I also research who companies are owned by and take every step to obtain what I need from oligarchs either second hand or through extralegal means.
Generalizations only hurt you, my anti-capitalist friend.
Edit- correct me if I’m wrong, but how you’re coming across gives really heavy “everyone in the last 78 years is selfish to the core except me” vibes.
Are you the one enlightened soul in the entire benighted race of man?
