"Are some individuals addicts of their feelings of self-righteousness?" asks Oakley

Smug Alert!

Pathological anything is bad. This includes pathological self-discipline, pathological money grubbing, pathological noseyness, pathological aloofness, pathological indifference, pathological righteousness. I owe a debt to my parents’ altruism and their instinctual drives that kept them from selling me into slavery or eating me for dinner or renting me to couples unable to conceive. I’m not prepared to declare altruism demonic and assign it front burner status over sadism, ignorance, egomania or messianic zeal.

Why undercut the human motivation for charity, family, loyalty, principled action, patriotism? This manufactured ambivalence crap is how 6 million Jews went to the big BBQ. Waging a philoslopical sloganeering manichean war upon altruism is NOT a priority.

If you don’t know your own psychology, how will you ever know if you are being manipulated by oligarch mafia elitist neo-aristocracy sociopaths for their Brahminic hidden agendas? A federation of anti-social personality types is nothing more than a zombie army. Our prisons are filled with them. Heil Hitler!!

If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject.

Ayn Rand

[mjp]

Helping another person even when doing so could adversely affect you is considered a virtue by many.

The first step on the path to destruction is to consider altruism a primary virtue. The next step is to declare any action that is not altruism as the vice of selfishness and therefore immoral. Then, finally,the government must pass laws that prohibit selfishness and force actions to be altruistic.

That buys a lot of Rolls Royces, Lear Jets, and gold teeth for cannibals dressed in field marshal uniforms and mirror sunglasses.
