What is your biggest critique of our society?

I think I would say that there is too much group-think. There is not enough emphasis on people gathering information about a subject and making their own informed decision. There is too much of people simply pushing their own views on other people and those people simply accepting them for a myriad of reasons.
What say you oh wise OT.

Rewarding and teaching the younger generations that non productive behaviors can lead to a luxurious/satisfying life.

In my opinion its easily the victim mindset and general lack of responsibility. A close second would be the phoniness of everyday America. We've all turned into politicians.

Easily the mindset that just because they are alive, they are entitled to you helping provide for them.
And the law progressively takes more & more from you to support them. It's just Communism.

My biggest critique of modern society is the quickness of those with good intentions to run to the government first and not last. Instead of being the tool of last resort that is rightly feared for the means with which it accomplishes its ends, most people in our society who are in a position where they "solve problems" (economists, social workers, sociologists, planners, even charity workers) unhesitatingly believe that the government must be involved from the start.
Instead of seeking to bring others to our cause, instead of seeking to raise funds through voluntary interaction, and instead of seeking to solve perceived injustices by trying to convert others to goodness (for example, convincing cake owners that it is wrong to deny service to certain people), we as a people are increasingly using the barrel of a gun to do the dirty work instead of actually working to bring others together to solve problems willingly and with free will, which is the far more moral way of going about doing things.
The way we as a society are beginning to view government is incredibly frightening. It's an incredibly important tool indeed, but its power is a double-edged sword. Unfortunately, I believe there is a sentiment growing that government is best when it is actively involved in planning, directing, and regulating our society. How different that is from the traditional view that most prudent and safe conception of government is that of a guard and a defender that only springs to life when an external force (an army, a thief, etc) has been applied to it.

how people shoehorn their political views into their answers for everything

Instead of spending so much time on our differences, maybe we could spend more time on what we have in common. would solve a lot of our socio-political ills right now.

That such a large percentage of people think it's morally acceptable to lock people up and ruin lives for smoking a plant that has been used by people for thousands of years until racist propaganda resulted in it being made illegal in 1937.

Add pussification of society to this. Everyone is offended by everything and every negative event induces an "I'm offended" or "I'm hurt" dick shaking contest.
Grow some nuts, America.

Our inability to reconcile our emphasis on individuality and the uniqueness of every person with our seemingly obsessive need to identify as a single-minded collective.
