Why is loyalty so low these days?

[Disciple of the Projects]

Loyalty in general. If you know what loyalty is you can speak on it. It's no point in making such a specific question when either half of the people won't answer the question or the thread will get derailed anyways.

fukk Loyalty, Ma.


Self preservation is the First Law of Nature, juheard?

I had to sadly be reminded of that by you unloyal hoes not too long ago. And it sucks because Im a TRU solid nikka to the toenail. But the game is rigged, ma. You just gotta handle your biz and keep it pushing.


But later for all that, when is you coming to NYC though? Come serve this Royalty, ma.

A pivotal point in American culture was the original wall street movie in the late 1980s, when Michael Douglas' character said "Greed is good!". It became a rallying cry for our economics and big business, and it eventually trickled down (about the only thing that trickled down) to the masses and turned into a way of life for all.

this is my opinion- it started when companies/people started mixing market norms (transactional stuff, quid pro quo) with social capital (which includes "loyalty" amongst other things)

a people a few years older than me were told- "you have a job for life with [company]"
then when the chips are down, and people were at their most vulnerable, they got laid off
or it could be a promise between people- like marriage (or other examples where someone sacrificed first and then were not reciprocated)

people get bitter and turn it 180 the other way- now everyone is out for themselves
and when a person or a company tries to invoke a word like "loyalty" -
other people are reminded of the past burns and get mad

i could only suggest that people learn to trust again- or rather, "trust but verify" which means saving your loyalty for when it's deserved

I don't know, I used to worry about loyalty when I was younger, well not really because I've never really given my friends enough insight of my life to cross me. A few could, but over what?

One dude that used to kick it with my old friends and I went and told this chick I was gay, but she liked me so it didn't matter what he said. I cut him off fast, but he's been a liar anyway and I honestly didn't care too much for him.

Fast forward to now and a lot of my friends are older than me, 30's and such, I still have friends my age but not many of them do I kick it with, and the ones I do hang around are genuine.

So the loyalty thing isn't much of an issue to me tbh, it never has been.

While there's a whole bunch of reasons, the main two in my opinion loyalty is at an all time low is because loyalty take a certain amount of trust and time to develop...

We live in a "ME! ME! ME!" culture that encourages self above all else. It's less "How can I help this person?" and waaaaaay more "If I help this person, what will they do to benefit me?" People so egocentric, they think the other person thinks the exact same way, and will try and get over on a muthafukka, so they do it 1st...

"Nothin personal, just business... :birdaman:"
"What the hell?!? Why you divorce me?!?! I thought things were great!"
"They were... just wanted to cut my losses... gotta get mine, right?"


We also live in a 'microwave' culture that wants everything immediately. Information is a the tap of a smart phone; outside of suburbs and 3rd world countries, food is literally a block away.
Loyalty takes an extensive amount of time.
Like, years.


People want a home cooked meal in a half hour, you see on FB and IG "I want that 'Damn, y'all still together?!?' relationship..." But want that shyt in like, a month.


Two of my closest potnas (nh) I now have known for 7 years and 5 years. Due to all the shyt we been through, they know I got their backs, and I got theirs.
It takes time, people.


But what do I know?

Loyalty in what sense?
Like staying quiet and doing prison time for your boy?

Because, you know...you serve that time alone.
And visiting D-Block isn't part of most people's weekly schedules.

The basic meaning of loyalty. I left it open so people can respond to it how they want. It doesn't have to really be on loyalty involving romantic relationships.
