Selfish, childish, propagandized and mostly unthinking and amoral people are big enough pluralities in certain societies and only an ideological awakening post societal collapse could help it, yes. I mean, if you live in the West for instance, what exactly is stopping you from just “focusing on yourself”, or pushing you to be prosocial and wise? 🤷
Why tf are so many people looking forward to societal collapse?
Talk - and listen to your neighbor, join a club, get outside or something. People are naturally social animals (this is what asshole rely on).
Can’t we all just get along?
Want? Some societies are unviable and actively create discord, death and misery in others who could be. It’s necessary for the world and the survival of the human race for some societies to rethink their entire “ideology” and attitudes.
I don’t think that the majority of the people talking about societal collapse really want that to happen, it’s just that history seems to be repeating itself and people are taking note.
That’s why most cults have an element of apocalyptic baked in. Fear of the ‘end’ keeps people in line, and it also makes them feel like they are superior to those who are ‘ignorant’ of ‘the end’.
The proto-revolutionaries in the comments here are of the same mindset. They are ‘aware’ want to collapse to come so they can demonstrate how right they were.
Not too different from horror/apocalypse movies too. The fun of those movies is the projection the viewer has about how they would not be as ‘stupid’ as the characters.

it makes them feel important. that’s why.
