I truly hope you have a great day. I'm not perfect, but I don't think I'm a narcissist. In fact, like most people I don't need to be coerced or threatened into looking out for other people besides myself. I loathe inequality and bigotry, which is why I subscribe to anarchism.

I'm just a more holy believer than you> but that's why I graciously come down and bestow my blessings of my words upon the poor and intelligent.

You can absolutely be a narcissist if you think you are a shining example of the purity of man. And ignorant if you think that its the only default.

Thank you for touching my lowly peasant life oh mighty angel of good and empathy. May the Almighty SpongeBob fry you a Krabby Patty this day.

I don't think this. I'm flawed just like anyone else. In fact, I'm a recovered alcoholic/addict.

And ignorant if you think that its the only default.

I don't. That's why I read widely. I don't think Marxism is the right way, but I'd even be open to be convinced otherwise. I can't even settle on anarcho-communism or anarcho-primitivism. They both present compelling arguments and examples.

I'm not. I've made some horrible mistakes, like the time I said I hoped the person who stole from me would ... do something bad and permanent to himself. But I try my best to practice empathy, yes. I work with a lot of people who have been very hurt by our system.

Lol, same to you

And I've killed myself 6 times. Fully succeeded once.

People are flawed and that's the nature of it all.

We can't be scared of emotions or of feeling ways that aren't immediately obviously beneficial but we can't always think of ourselves as rational either. The world is not sane and does not breed sanity. It's nice to think in perfect reality that might not be true but we don't have that.

I think people feeling the ability to strive for the life they want but with restrictions is the only right answer and no system is a perfect answer for that because everyone wants something different. Some may even want social ladders and some want to rule atop them.

The work is what keeps us going so a system that lets people work towards their goals and makes room for moving past them with agreed sense of safety is what we need and is achieved by being unfortunately in the middle of reality and the desires of those within your borders and outside. It's a pain in the ass and hard to keep people with that view in power too over time. But regression doesn't work either. People want to strive and believe. And sometimes people need to be told to fuck off myself included. That's how you maintain it.

Thanks for appreciating my SpongeBob though. Have a good day.

I really do hope you click some of those links I gave you. I think it might surprise you what you find. Best wishes.

Edit: Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it a cult lol

Sorry but no thanks. Still not gonna join a cult based on a paradox.
