As a society? Interpret it how you like.

No I think it's fairly balanced. It's just the greed is more obvious.

I was at the my local recycling centre yesterday and the thing I very noticed is over the years is increasingly how busy it is.

People seem to constantly buying more and things and throwing away perfectly good thing. I include my own household in this.

Our consumption and trow away society is really fucking up things.

Being serious. As a society, yes we are. We try not to be. We don't buy stuff. We don't replace things because fashions change. We repair stuff. Etc.

Absolutely. And especially these days where everyone is expectant of everything right here right now. We've become so used to having things quite literally at a whim.

They are only good if the price is right.

I have a friend who has a takeaway that do online orders/deliveries. There would regularly be BOGOF deals but what people weren't cottoning on to was the fact that the price of the burger had doubled so in actual fact, you weren't getting anything free.

Eg

Price of chicken burger ordinarily - £6

BOGOF price online £12

Yes.

I do wonder whether it's because we're disconnected from the costs of greed, and/ or we lack fundamentally security which leads to hoarding.

Greed is a human trait that is a exacerbated, even revered, in a capitalist freemarket society.

I would say we are more decadent at this point, remaining resistant to change, within a decaying neoliberal culture.

I feel like there's been a "got mine, fuck you" attitude that's become a bit more prevalent and which to an extent, I can be guilty of as well.

I think generally as a society we are yes, I think it ties in with the increase in entitlement that seems to be happening, or maybe I’m just seeing that.

"Yes.

Indeed expanding the precariat section of society via scarcity encourages a hoarding mentality.

I think the two are related, when we lack essential resources, humans become more self-interested in their outlook. Hence more disposed to support ideologies that are fundamentally built upon those assumptions.

The means become the ends we hope to achieve. You live and breathe it, you believe it, accept it as 'just the way it is.'

Yes. I feel this attitude from the people who take up certain resources when they could either wait or do without them. For example, people who occupy the lift for that one floor, even though they could physically manage to walk, and leave a wheelchair user to wait for it to come around again. Except the next time, it's full again and no-one is willing to move. Etc. Stuff like that.

I'm not suggesting this particular example applies to you, JB.
