it’s just that you’re willing to let people literally infringe on your right to live if it vaguely is in service of “the people.”

Yeah, that's normal for people with actual beliefs. Surely you have a few you'd die for?

If the world was against me, maybe I’m just an asshole, but I still have to fight for what I believe to be my best interest. Do I have any reason to do anything else?

Yes. Absolutely. Unless your opinion is that only selfishness is legitimate.

My opinion is that only selfishness is legitimate. Again, give me a reason why not to. I care about my friends and family because I'm alive and get to experience the connection. I care about living in a safe society, and hopefully one that will treat people less fortunate, as I feel I have been given a shitty hand in many regards. This is all self interest. That all goes away when I die.

Edit: Also miss me with this "would die for my principles" shit. You're literally defending dying for something you don't agree with.

My opinion is that only selfishness is legitimate.

Then we have nothing to talk about.
