During covid, going to a rural area in the US really got to me. The population is so individualistic / freedom-brained / "i do whatever I want all the time", that their grandmothers all dying meant nothing to them. I got mine keeps meaning smaller and smaller groups of people.

I got mine keeps meaning smaller and smaller groups of people.

What does this mean?

But when he says “smaller and smaller groups of people” does he mean that this kind of mentality isolates people to increasingly smaller groups?

It used to apply to different groups in the past.

Fuck you, my community got ours

Fuck you, my friend group got ours

Fuck you, my family got ours

And now we're finally at

Fuck you, I got mine

As the number of people who got theirs diminishes, "Fuck you I got mine" will eventually decay to just "Fuck you"
