    The hard part about solidarity is that people need to care about their community first. Many don’t, and the feeling is mutual. That sense of alienation, loneliness, isolation is what’s really stopping meaningful progress.

    It’s not specific to the US either. Many so-called developed countries around the world have it as bad or worse than the US.

      You’re right, it’s a growing problem all over.

      Its the result of individualism, reinforced by suburbia, car-dependancy and social media.

      US narratives dominate the western mindset and curtail revolutionary energy by incentivising selfishness over community.
