Only spoiled, rich, entitled communities spend all day kvetching. Once a society gets the big things mostly right, like lights on, shelves full, streets functioning, people start treating the remaining 20% as proof of collapse. That final stretch toward “utopia” is brutally hard, maybe impossible, and the frustration turns ugly fast. Perspective disappears, grievance becomes identity, and people start inviting authoritarians in to “fix” what comfort made them unable to tolerate.
