Altruism definitely fucks with the gene pool at least
that is why communism is the prime example of an altruistic ideology. You must sacrifice everything you value for the people, and be given as little value as possible in return.
no its not
Alturism also has a goal for a group.
Helping one group to keep them dependant and weak helps your group
Look at the world right now, look at nato
communism is all about self interest, they do it because it benefits them, not because it benefits anyone else
Lol communism never says give up what you value pls
the leaders do
but the people give up everything.
all their land
Never forget that north korea has 6 work days
Different people lead different lives. I want to live a life I personally deem worth living in _my_ case. I wasn't swayed by some ideology, or some random guy spewing nationalistic propoganda. I weighed the world, and deemed myself to be the few, and the others, the many.
all their money
This doesn't exactly fit into a government type, though
and one day of non voluntary volunteer work for the nation at your job on the seventh
Bad stuff happens there
It keeps them to busy to hungry and to dependant on the next day for them to rise up
that is why it is important to allow rational self-interest to become a virtue. Because it leads to people taking the responsibility for their own lives.
yes it does
Rational self interest to me would be, someone smart enough to abuse the welfare system, because those idiots forcing welfare will give you free money that someone else earned for you
and why is taking responsibility for ones own life a bad thing?
the ultimate selfish ideology is libertarianism (or closer still, objectivism)
no because you are stealing money from someone else
I think everyone should keep their shit to themselves and be left alone
"virtue signalling" and "wanting to help for the sake of helping" can mingle together as one. I absolutely refuse to only ever think of myself. I do think about myself, of course. But that's not the only thing I think about.
so you are ultimately dependant on them.
no im not
I just don't prescribe to this idea that not being selfish is selfish.
Taxes.
you don't have to
No, dependant is not the word
if i don't need their money, but still take it, its for my benefit only
the welfare system needs an overhaul, there are SO MANY people on it that know how to play the system now, and keep people who actually work and pay taxes, struggling to pay their own shit
Personally interested
yes
A better title for that.
get rid of its non-essential parts
if you make helping people your goal, by pursuing it, you are being rationally self-interested.
omg, generational welfare is a think
