Nobody wants to erect a massive social infrastructure that diminishes their enjoyment of their time to improve YOUR enjoyment of society. In fact nobody on planet earth wants to be subjected to what YOU or any other person believes they ought to do with their money/time without pay.

Can you imagine how your friends would feel if you stole from their wallet to plan a party and told them you would steal some more if they didn't come?

Is their a particular reason you aren't suggesting organizing more events say in your locality and encouraging rather than forcing people to join?

Dude chill out lol , no one is talking about massive social infrastructure — get a dozen people together in front of some old abandoned land and build something cool. Maybe even just a landscape project with recycled materials from around the worksite. I’m just riffing here on ways to improve society — people may not like doing something but if it’s good for them maybe we should incentivize it .

If it’s a party that had cake which cured a bad recurring disease that I’m too lazy and stubborn to fix then I’d be grateful for those friends

I am doing the above, I do encourage people and really it’s not high on my priority list — it’s just a suggestion about how we could remedy a gaping problem in our modern social fabric

Once again nobody wants you to take money out of their pockets to fund parties and give them a little of it back if they attend. People not doing what you expect them to isn't a gaping problem in modern society.
