Hey, once upon a time this was actually the norm; of course that was back when normal people were also the norm.

When I was growing up, if you were walking down the street and a car pulled up and a man got out and asked you to help him unload some packages, not only did you do so because you were taught to respect adults, but there was little reason to worry that he was a criminal or a pervert because criminals and perverts usually didn't make it to jail before getting their comeuppance. I think they called it "community involvement".

Our communities have been destroyed by the big corporations and banks which own the government.

Yeah this is true. Peoples trust in others is deteriorating.

There are many factors why, including the spreading of narcissistic and selfish liberal ideas (which are disguised as “caring” because it replaces actual help with virtue signaling)

But I think the media has played a big role too. All types of crime are down to historic lows, worldwide, but we wouldn’t know because of the media. So less people are willing to help strangers. Hell some people are less willing to ACCEPT help
