Or maybe we learnt that there’s no common good.

Look at how money flows (and flew right after WW2 and kept flowing) and concentrates at a certain section of pyramid - yes even in developed countries, in fact especially there.

On the other hand, go look into the history of cannon fodder soldiers from colonies in both of the “great” wars of the West and look at what happened to those nations right after and even until now. In fact somewhere told “tough luck, we still feel like keeping you enslaved little more”.

Well that’d happening inside nation's now. Differently - the name could be exploitation or something else.

I think the world has finally had enough of recorded history to learn the exact “common and communal good”!
