why is society so primitive?

Actually, I would think that more primitive societies supported each other better than societies of current times. The reason behind me feeling our societies are so primitive these days is because we keep holding onto the past way too much. Most people still using an old measurement system instead of a modern system as an example. But on your point of people supporting each other, I think communities were more supportive of each other hundreds of years ago compared to today.

There are many reasons we are like this as a society today. It didn’t just happen overnight.

I think society only works for certain people. I would prefer to have my own little plot of land away from everyone rather than rely on others.

I think it is just a version of survival of the fittest.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

To which I may add, I actually think as a society we are regressing. We claim we are so advanced and this and that, but all we have is technology in the hands of people that are trapped in themselves, behaving like children. Even children have a better sense of themselves.

Society is de-evolving in my opinion. Empathy,for others, is a skill many no longer have, and many are too self centered to care about anyone else. I can't say what is causing this, but I find it very sad.

Welcome to capitalism...

As communism failed we're stuck in this crappy limbo

I feel like that too. Sometimes it can feel lonely, like an island in a sea of self-centered people.

Which society, specifically?

communities are being broken

I blame this
