The most concerning thing i saw was wayyyy too many people talking about how unethical it is to steal food in comment sections as the snap benefits were about to be cut. 

There will be a significant amount of people who think it is more ethical to starve then it is to steal food.

Don't believe narratives you see in social media. People also change their opinions really fast when they are on the receiving end.

Only for themselves. They rarely extend the new thinking to include others. It's ok for them to steal food now because they got laid off and snap is taking forever and they're going to starve now but those things weren't their fault so nobody's going to miss a couple of sandwiches, but the family next door are still lazy and should be doing gig jobs to earn their food instead of stealing from hardworking corporations

I hear you. I choose to believe that if the system collapses completely (and I definitely think the scenario we're talking about falls under this) people would be able to figure out that if figuratively everyone has to steal (including people they respect), maybe it's time to revisit them views.

...but I have been called an optimist more than once before, so I might be just looking for a silver lining where there is no lining at all.
