    That’s normal. Every culture goes through the usual arc:

    • One for all and all for one.

    • What’s in it for me

    • Fk you I got mine

    • KO

    It goes from a lot of solidarity as the culture just broke free of the previous ruler. Over time sentiments change and become more individualistic until the entire thing becomes very top heavy. Eventually some external force (economy, war, climate and usually a combination of those) topples the whole thing over. Some parts break away and start the process over again.
