"It's interesting looking at emergent societies vs decaying societies.
It begins with strong bonds and civic duties to match and underpin their rights and belonging. By the end the bonds are severed, and people nolonger invest in the society around them.
We can actually see the "someone else will do it," in Roman ruins. The society that had rich senators build civic infrastructure, monuments, temples etc, would by the end, funnel their money inwards and build insular little walled off estates and villas that were protected by paid guards. They bemoaned the state off affairs, but it was most definitely someone else who was expected to solve it."
