    It’s not just corporations. It’s the individual over the collective. And that is just the nature of certain societies, specifically more competitive societies. In India for example, the mindset of everyone in traffic is ‘me over others’ - fuck everyone else, i grab what space I can get. If I don’t, the next fucker will. Like if it starts raining, your 1 hour trip is now 3 hours, not 1.5 hours because there will be a jam at every intersection in the city. There are just so many people on the road and infrastructure (and society / government at large) that hasn’t lent itself to cooperation but rather competition. It becomes their mindset, it becomes everyone’s mindset. That is why many from that region turn right politically. I bet it’s the same for many Latin countries.
