Honestly I dont think society is that bad

[R@m@]

It's just the 1% that turn everything into a competition to grab money and consume but still people are cooperative and most people are good people

 

[FaceandBBC]

most people are good people

 

[R@m@]

Well you are in the US, I assume people are hyper competitive and judgemental

Here in Portugal capitalism also reigns but people don't fall for it like in the US

Society is perfect and it’ll only get better

I wouldnt call it perfect, but if we cooperate more instead of competing we might create an even better society

We could achieve it through propaganda, if it wasn't for the filthy jews with their control and fear mongering tactics

They are only "good" in easy situations in which they aren't risking anything, and when they are face to face.

If you want to know the true nature of a person you have to see him act and behave when he is low on resources, just like when you want to know what a person truly thinks about you then you need to know what he/she says to others while you are not present. There is a reason why poor countries are full with crime and safe havens are the richer ones, once necessity kicks it's a completely different game.

Exactly, that's why cooperation is important, because we can build communities, create better conditions to face the harsh realities of life

Rich countries like the US could be even better if it wasn't for the unecessary consumerism and competition, people start to act more individually and see others as threats and then its a cycle, I think competition is what made the US a great country too

Real, I Am in the economic situation where I could live in California (I Am mexican but i also have the US citizenship) But life there isn’t about living, it’s about consuming, flexing and clout chasing.

At least my poor ass country feels real.

There are many variants when it comes to societies. Indonesia for example is the country that donates the most money to charities yet it's definetly not rich.

What makes the US "great" is that it's a giant country who started from scratch carrying all the developed technological advancements of thousands of years from european cultures, with lots of valuble land full of resources, and very far from Europe and Asia which are the epicenters of global conflict due to them being the heartland of the world and the variety of cultures and peoples, almost as if it was an island which made them almost untouchable except very few occassions in which there was a massive specific mobilization that wasn't sustainable like Pearl Harbour, and even that was barely testimonial. Also they did a great job surpressing their neighbours, whether via inducing poverty and crime in areas already predisposed to it (Latin America) or peace treaties and alliances (Canada)

The reason why the US is heavily declining is because nowadays they don't possess the monopoly anymore, they don't have to fight Japan in the 40s or countries that can't reach them or afford oil for planes and whatnot, their biggest enemy is not some indian american in bows or a japanese thousands of miles away under an oil blockade, they have to resist no less than China, Russia, etc, with 21st century developments and advancements, therefore they have become vulnerable.
