Anarcho-capitalism perhaps. I see plenty of idealism running pretty unchecked in the West though

I have this same feeling about boardgames. I appreciate them generally, but it seems to me they teach people to appreciate the advantages of being maximally selfish, self-dealing and foiling the plans of others. I can't get past how this is evil, but nobody but me seems to see it

Western culture has long glorified war. The first board games were not toys but professional tools of war. Maybe the cutthroat attitude trickled down from feudalism to capitalism.

That‘s pretty similar to what I meant https://twitter.com/olaf_alex/status/1188188478015770631 … except I would stress more the self-referential problem: the same behaviors that can work on an object level if the rules are good, prevent good rules from being adopted at the meta level.
