Our societies are too enslaved to market logic, and everything risks being subject to self-interest and the quest for profit. Volunteering is prophecy and a sign of hope, because it bears witness to the primacy of gratuitousness, solidarity, and service to those most in need.
@GoodBoyMachine It's even more than that, there's also contradictory messaging. You're both taught to "treat others how you want to be treated" and how it's important to be polite and to give people a basic level of respect only for you to eventually be told that's "collectivist bullshit".
