To pervert consciously or unconsciously a marginalized group to the point that they become instruments of their own destruction with the end goal being the programmed destruction of that marginalized group.
The Jewish community during 1930's Europe were victims of Societal Apoptosis at the hands of the Nazis and in today's society, black and brown citizens in impoverished parts of America experience Societal Apoptosis at the hands of local, state, and federal government.

One who marches to the beat which Society has driven into their soul; one who has no backbone; a weak person, who lives up to unacceptable standards provided by society.
Was out last night and ran into a buncha societical penguins who tried to tell me I should pay my income tax!

A societal pinch point is a situation, place or experience, created either by accident or without knowledge / inadvertently by the creator, that forces human interaction and will inevitably lead to one or more involved parties entering / leaving the situation angry, upset, hurt, anxious, depressed and may end in violence.
Many people avoid these societal pinch-points all together out of anxiety or fear.
Examples:
- Merge lanes
- Any place humans have to form more than one line
- Any situation where manners / etiquette is unclear
- Parking lots
- Any physical place where people want something that there are too few of
- Being the first car in front at a red light

The drive through at my local fast food restaurant has one of those two lane drive throughs, every very time I get in line, people always try and get in front, and when I order first and move up first, the person in the inner lane tries to cut me off, so I don't go to that fast food restaurant so as to avoid that societal pinch-point.
The other day I got stuck holding the door for someone I thought was right behind me coming into a building, turns out they were just far enough away and moving just slowly enough to make the whole experience a societal pinch point; do I hold the door, do I let it go, if I let it go am I an asshole, if I hold it am I a little bitch?
I was at the grocery store to buy some flat leaf parsley and there was ten of them on the stand, when I went to grab one, a lady took all ten, and refused to give me even one because she needed all of them. When did my local grocery store become a societal pinch point?

Opposing views on acceptable behavior caused societal trust degradation between republicans and democrats.
The war produced societal trust degradation. Peace may not be possible.
The prevalence of negative news articles produced societal trust degradation.
While societal trust degradation seemed inevitable in modern society, Amish culture remained tight knit and safe.

Societal speciesism is the formalization of a set of institutional, historical, cultural, and interpersonal practices within a society that more often than not puts one species or supernatural group in a better position to succeed and at the same time disadvantages other groups and species in a consistent and constant matter that disparities develop between the groups and species over a period of time. Societal speciesism can also be referred as structural speciesism and as awtokism.
"Societal speciesism is a big problem nowadays, mainly because it encourages speciesism and normalization of speciesism and awtokism, and even leading into awtokist behavior and advocating."
"Societal speciesism is what awtokism is about, even societal speciesism is still a lot debatable since its concepts need to be well developed for we get a conclusion."
