[not yet well thought-out]
Musing on Justice led to Responsibility led to Community. Years ago, I dreamt of writing a long piece on Justice, including social justice, including prejudice. In recent years, I've been thinking a lot about Responsibility, including social responsibility, particularly avoiding responsibility: refusing blame, whiners and victims, "Surrender to God" (and religion in general).
That led to Community, esp. denial of community:
- Radical individualism
- Libertarianism (contracts but not government? What is a government but a social contract?)
- Paranoid conspiracy nuts
- Hatred of government (but love of "country"??)
- Hatred of taxes (but insistence on benefits)
- Disappearance of civility
- Diminishing regard even for human life
- All greed and selfishness
