I know it's not you and we're just joking around here but I wonder why "Western person experiences the least amount of economic distress/physical discomfort" always leads to Mad Max/apocalyptic scenarios, lol. Don't y'all trust yourselves to come together in solidarity, share meals and other financial burdens, raise kids whilst others are doing some hunting and gathering, etc etc? Look at the people in Gaza!
HA, what about these last few years have made you think anybody in america would follow though with that idea in a honest capacity. America was built on greed, it'll get done in by it as well now that they don't have anymore tribals to take advantage... or at least up until they started fighting 'tribes' that could afford armys with aks to finally shoot back with now.

But mad Max/apocalyptic scenarios have people just trying to live their life with other factions just trying to kill and loot them.

They lack education and therefore ethics

I think they're separated things, else people like Kissinger simply wouldn't exist, but they certainly lack ethics.

separated things yes, but intertwined. unless someone is broken
