I don’t think you are considering how people are interdependent on each other. Let’s assume someone abandons their child, let’s also forget anon in the post here for the sake of simplicity, it signals to the child that they are on their own and that they can make it on their own. This is a falsification of how things work in real life. If you now have a bunch of people who think that they are the masters of their story, you get essentially what’s been happening since the capitalist revolutions. And that becomes toxic at some point because it’s all about intentionally blinding yourself in regards to the context that things happen in, people start being unable to put themselves in the shoes of others, they can’t deal with topics that in the most literal sense concern the environment.
