There are those who not only deny one's faults as a "Dhammic" approach, but also are very anti-social (absence of gratitude and dutyfullness), with tendencies found in "[I don't like people but I like buddhism](https://buddhism.stackexchange.com/questions/30692/i-dont-like-people-but-i-like-buddhism) " and certain answers. This attitude seem common given modern consumerism and individualism, yet ignores the fact that material goods have no goodness but are dependent on people's voluntary or forced sacrifices. So is it with some "Buddhists". There is no Buddhism without gratitude for people who sacrificed a lot that is not possible to repay. How can such an attitude of "I don't like people but I like 'food'" ever justify itself? What might be the long term effects for people of such wrong views and trained to consumerism/householder-equanimity? What will be the bill to pay, sooner or later, for grave wrong view? *(note that this is not given for exchange, trade, stacks or nourishing bonds to the world but for liberation)*
