This is the "got mine, fuck you" attitude that is part of the reason of a political shift to the right. And the worst part is, I get it, it's just also at odds with my more social leaning values.
Like, I don't mind paying taxes and social contributions, but I'm at a point now where I have to dip into my savings on the regular to match the monthly expenses and there hasn't been anything going in there for years.
I try to discern between the GMFY crowd and people who are just burnt out or dealing with life, because I have sympathy for the latter. Thankfully, the GMFY's will often be vocal with their dirtbaggery and let you know exactly who they are. They seem blissfully unaware that everyone is watching them and they are trashing their reputations.
I think the swing to the right is due to nation-state propaganda organs being defunded or replaced worldwide. People are naturally change averse, so either conservative or reactionary. Without the constant 'nudges', you're getting to see people's prickly natures coming out more.
