“Can’t we just all get along?”. That would be nice, but sooner of later some assclown comes along and wants to be the boss of you. It’s what humans do.

Yes. It is human nature.
Problem is, conservatives see that as a flaw, and Leftists see that as virtue.

The motivational posters must have worked, because they were immediately followed by the Great Depression.

I remember, in the 80’s and 90’s, the magic mantra, “Do more with less!” Like if they didn’t allow you what you needed it would somehow enable you to do miracles.

A term that comes to mind is “fragging”. If he wants to be boss, he has to protect you, or at least care for you. If he can’t, get rid of him.

The 1920s was a different country. They do things differently there.

We the unwilling
Led by the unknowing
Are doing the impossible
For the ungrateful
We have done so much
For so long
With so little
We are now qualified to do anything
With nothing

Guidelines on proper behavior are unacceptable these days, since they are considered racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.
