It's the me, me, me attitude in reverse. Everybody not only wants their piece of pie, they want the next guys also. This attitude of self indulgence, entitlement and general fuck you mindset is everywhere we look. In magazines, reality tv, talk radio, everywhere.
Singular, self centered opinions rule the day. Does anyone remember when people used to tell you there was a certain sale on this or that item upcoming or currently happening, then saying they are going to check it out. No more. People now keep quiet until they have benefitted then say, hey, did you know about the sale at so and so. You should go. Me first, fuck everyone else. I am getting mine, then I will share what I know with you.
But when blame is to had for the me, me, me crowd? It becomes you, you, you.
