Pretty much any group of people I've encountered in life hold similar grudges and complaints. Unions are often formed on complaints about not being paid enough, disagreeing with management. Management is often formed with the idea that other workers are troublesome. Radio shows often have a theme of complaint that run through them. Families often hold similar complaints. It seems like most organizations in society hold onto complaints and the more you complain the more respected you become within the group.

Conflict is a fact of life. All people have self-preservation. They all believe that their views are correct and that their priorities trump all others. Sometimes people's agendas conflict, sometimes they are similar. People can relate to others by sharing the challenges they face that they have in common with one another. Groups are forms based on common interests and common goals. Unions, for example, were formed to protect workers from being exploited or taken advantage of. Management is a form of supervision that has it's own goals of ensuring that their subordinates' goals are met.
I am not sure what you mean about all social communications being based on complaints. That seems to be a horribly jaded stereotype based on focusing on the negative aspects os socialization.
You have to wonder, if someone is focused on the negative aspects of social communication, might possibly be suffering from social anxiety, and making excuses for avoiding socializing.
We all face social anxiety to some degree. The way to cope with it is to give to others what we want for ourselves. We can focus on others, rather than our own discomfort and intimidation. We gan give others the attention, recognition, respect, appreciation, admiration, and approval we want for ourselves. We can make it all about others, rather than ourselves. We can notice the things about others, that they clearly wish others would notice. We can make postivie observations and ask people questions about themselves.
That is how we are able to become welcome and popular. That is how we become extroverted. Others will feel good around us and want us around.

So what...we should just be complacent? I believe brainwashed is the term that you used in your earlier question. If you don't "complain" or try to improve things you stagnate as a society. In order for our world to evolve and move forward you have to identify what needs to be changed and work toward that change. "Necessity is the mother of invention".
