This is a very relatable comment. I think a lot of the reason I am so angry is how selfishly people act though. I think it makes me a worse person to observe that kind of shit. I'm sure the anger makes me more selfish too, ironically.
And the fact that Donald Trump won the election in America kind of proves how pathetically selfish a huge swath of Americans are. This and 2016 and 2020 shouldn't have been anywhere near close, 10% of votes is the highest number of votes he could've gotten without making me upset. But people don't give a shit about the harm to others, as long as they think they're not being harmed...
Damn, I think you distilled it better than me: selfishness.
But someone needs to look out for the white male billionaires! What about THEIR struggles?!?
Seems like basic "golden rule" shit.
One of the few valuable biblical lessons, and coincidentally, one of the easiest to teach a person without needing any religion whatsoever.
