oh, well, I guess since everyone is doing it, that makes it okay, and we can't imagine a better world. Let's call it a day, accept our lot in life, and move forward.

I hate the sentiment that because things are bad somewhere they should be bad elsewhere. Every time I bring up benefits that I have that others don't they start by saying "you shouldn't have those" instead of saying "I should have those too." It's like we're playing a weird game of the prisoner's dilemma, but there's not actually any benefit for the person defecting.
