Yes, and it's not surprising.
The solution to everything in society now is "let the individual provide the solution":
* Democracy = "if a politician is shit then just vote them out, you really should do your research before voting"
* Capitalism = "if they're using slave labour then just vote with your wallet til they go bankrupt - if you simply buy an object with decent specs without looking into the company's track record on labour rights, then you're complicit"
* Broken system = "call your local politician to demand reform, the problem is ultimately caused by your inaction"
* Bad news source = "spend your spare time doing research before believing random stuff on the internet then"
Society has no cap on its complexity, nor boundaries for individual responsibility in a utilitarian world. This ultimately means that the stability and moral rightness is directly limited by how much effort You The Individual are willing/able to apply at any given time.
Is it really that surprising that when people have a choice between being Atlas or living a good life, they'll choose the latter?
More to the point, this is precisely why companies specifically push for "individualism" and "freedom" from regulation - because they know people don't have time or energy to police every single organisation under the sun.
EDIT: apparently HN doesn't support markdown lists. It does have a feature for stripping single newlines (like what you'd use to format a list), though.
