There is a problem worldwide that started occurring when social media began but the pandemic has taken it to a much higher degree. Here in the U.S., this problem has been taken to even a much higher degree by Trump, given that he is the ultimate example of the problem.
What am I talking about? Selfishness.
Here is where it began:
Up to here in this OP, this problem is worldwide. All nations that have social media online are experiencing this.
Nonetheless, we elected a narcissist president and narcissism by nature means selfish behavior to the max. He has been a magnet for other narcissists to become supporters of him.
Having said all of the above and with Trump now our leader and the above proven to be in effect, what then does all of this make it a big problem that can only be fixed by a catastrophe?
For any nation to survive, the "team concept" needs to be in place. A nation is a large group of people where everyone plays a part of its success and more importantly, needs to be a part of the success. When only a small portion of its citizens enjoy success and the large part does not, the nation crumbles and disunity occurs. Disunity brings disfunction and that brings chaos.
The only thing that can cause selfishness to go away is for a catastrophe to occur where people are FORCED to work together to survive. As long as one side can win and the other lose, selfishness will remain. When both sides are losing, selfishness needs to disappear or a loss to all is certain.
I have no idea of what kind of time frame is involved here (a few years, a few decades or even a few centuries) for this problem to reach its conclusion, but the reality is that there is NO SOLUTION available as only a catastrophe can solve it now.
The Selfishness virus has taken hold and there is no vaccine or medicine to cure it.
