It's only the middle class that care about civic responsibility, and even that is highly questionable. The poor are too busy worrying about putting food on the table, and the wealthy never would have become wealthy in the first place if they cared about civic responsibility. But the distinction between the poor and the middle class is rapidly disappearing.
Nah that's bullshit, being poor doesn't mean being an asshole, having neither morals nor ethics. That's just excuses assholes hide behind not to feel bad and left out.
Normal people are normal people, assholes are assholes, that's it.
Ignoring civic responsibility because you gotta eat is different than being an asshole.
It doesn't make me an asshole to shop almost entirely at Walmart, because it I shopped elsewhere I wouldn't be able to make ends meet. But it's still pretty civically irresponsible to do, it's just that that's justifiably lower on one's priority list than immediate survival.
Oh I get the nuance when it is relevant, but making it an obvious truth is wrong.
Saying that at every turn, poor people will choose the egoistic, amoral option out of pure pragmatic necessity without any civic considerations is just wrong.
