[andai]

What cultural difference causes this?

[krageon → andai]

Low social cohesion and high individuality. Zero or near-zero shame built into people for being pieces of shit when they're growing up. It's all very "western".

[ThrowawayTestr → andai]

Low trust vs high trust society

[Ringz → andai]

Pure capitalism.

[HideousKojima → Ringz]

[Ringz → HideousKojima]

Who talks about theft? It’s about vandalism.
