I think it’s really more of the case that people feel no kinship, we’ve been programmed since birth and since basically centuries to only see ourselves as islands, working only for ourselves and to “get ours”, believing the lie that if only everyone fends for themselves then everybody will benefit in the end… Somehow.

Nothing can or will change as long as we are shackled by capitalist rule.
