retail facing acquaintances have confirmed to me that this started long before covid. personally I'm much more of a misanthrope than average, still to me it's more important to focus on systems (like the modern western system of no values no books no community no nutrients no free time no third space no thinking only consumption) as opposed to focusing on symptoms (eg. people behaving animalistically when confronted with a system that does not align with the needs of its occupants). we are all living creatures trying to optimize, therefore outside of edge cases there's functionally no difference between you, I, and 'shitty' people
