It matters that Doctors Against Genocide and Taxpayers Against Genocide exist. It matters that heroic resistance to the blasphemy of settler colonialism exists both on Turtle Island and in Palestine....
It matters that the US empire is imploding from ill informed actions of a few elite numbskulls ...
1930s: from French, from Greek anomia, from anomos ‘lawless’.
Anomie is a sociological term that describes a breakdown of social norms, values, and guidance. It can also refer to a state of disconnection from society that can be experienced by individuals.
In criminology, anomie is a state of social instability where people feel alienated and worthless, and may turn to crime. It can also be described as a state of normlessness or a breakdown in social expectations.
Anomie is related to Strain Theory, which was developed by Robert K. Merton. Merton believed that people who believe in the American Dream but don't have the opportunities to achieve it may turn to crime.
In my next post I am writing about how we have created a monster: this civilization, and while a few that might still exercise "free will" or moral agency might be able to cope with that mentally, our physical beings are not built for this stress level and it is taking us down.
Look forward to it! You would find sociologist Keith Doubt's excellent book on suicide/sociocide of interest, available on Amazon.
Our post-modern complex societies are very vulnerable and must be guarded accordingly with better government, raised consciousness and institutionalized binding social impact studies.
I looked up 'anomie' in my iMac dictionary and this is what I find: lack of the usual social or ethical standards in an individual or group: the theory that high-rise architecture leads to anomie in the residents.
My point being we are suffering too much not too little just like a lot of other social impacts and ideologies destroying us. You might also say that highly anomic societies are vulnerable to demagoguery, autocracy and fascism just as we are seeing now.
Yes, suffering too much and this suffering takes different forms. When I see, almost on a daily basis, the lack of respect, the lack of consideration, the lack of manners, this 'up yours' attitude, this selfishness, this conceitedness towards those we consider inferior to us...Did my parents educate me the wrong way?

The evil that manifests matters...
Anomie...this is precisely what is so lacking in today's societies.
Are you sure that is what you want to say?
This comment threat is getting offbase.
A word starting a- is meaning "lack of."

I will be writing more on this.

And isn't this what is so lacking today?

Yes and that is the lack of empathy that our sick alienating societies generate.
It is every man/woman for him/herself...
