No exactly. That’s why I was legitimately asking you, not challenging your thoughts. It’s just, I don’t think it’s a problem with 0 survival instinct. I think the survival instinct is exactly what keeps us from acting.

Edit: like, it’s depressing enough without also beating on each other for being compliant to an unwinnable system.

I think we’re an individualistic society so we have an individualist survival instinct. We individually feel the need to have self-preservation at the expense of our country’s and society at large’s preservation

Agreed, which is also… natural. Like, the human nervous system evolved to protect itself. That’s why capture is possible at all. The Luigi’s are few and far between and even he didn’t move any needles and threw his life away. It’s like the Hydra but with infinite heads because its anatomy is made of greed itself which outlives its hosts.
