Imagine if no one treated life as a zero-sum game and only agreed to play in co-op mode?
In any other game, if you found out it was rigged after playing your hardest for years, and folx were like "that's just how it is, and the price of losing can include dying in a gutter from sheer indifference", you'd probably flip the fucking table.
@alice Sadly more people played in co-op mode* a few decades ago, but neoliberalism has made us think that everything is PvP these days.
* As long as you had the right colour, procreation equipment, attraction behaviour, and acted like you were expected based on the aforementioned properties. Things were definitely not perfect, but it would be nice if we got the societal cohesion back without all the othering bullshit behaviour.
