The other day I was at Albertson's and I was going for the last pack of smartwater. This old guy came by and it was obvious he wanted it so I just gave it to him. I hate the taste of tap water but my Brita water thing is fine. He looked shocked when I gave it him. NOT TO TOOT MY OWN HORN. But let this be an example to you greedy fucks. I'm talking about you, the one with 20 things of milk that's gonna go bad and then your bitch stupid ass will try to get a refund. "hurr hurr I didn't know milk went bad hur"

You're what should be the model human. I do the same thing and I also only shop for as much as I need, like normal. Taking extra is only taking away from others

self-preservation is a basic and probably the strongest human instinct. why would you be surprised?

It's more so, having a feeling is way different than having that feeling actually validated. You think the worst as a survival tactic, but when people start actually showing they're really like that, it's still sad and pathetic

Lol. Is this how you justify doing too much? You see it exactly the same as not giving away everything? I noticed most people gotta be able to stay ignorant to the nuances so the voices in their head don't turn against them for being trash

This is why communism fails.

It is based on the idea that the bigwigs in the government aren't selfish dicks, but they always are.

The trick is to own your inclination towards fucking over others. It's in your nature, no reason to be ashamed of it.

Also, daily traffic patterns reflect this same experience.

Traffic is caused by selfish dicks speeding ahead of others and cutting the lines in merges and exits.
This means the people not doing this have to wait longer and longer.

It even feeds on itself because the more people speeding ahead and cutting the line, the more it causes others to break the mold of normalcy and do the same.

Reasons range from "i can't be late to wotk!" to "i can't stand traffic"
But the people they are cutting ahead of are never considered.

You know, most people don't find the nearest attractive mate and club them over the head anymore. I think it's possible for people to be better than their primitive instincts as proven by the plenty of unselfish and responsible people out there as well. I think a significant part of all this behavior is learned and not totally inherent. Look at the how the American capitalist culture is. Individualism and selfishness and rammed into people's brains. Then add the media into the mix and you get disaster.

If you're younger than 60, you're likely just going to be moderately annoyed for a few days.
Stay away from grandma for a month or two, though.

I have seen that people between the ages of 20 and 54 are being hospitalized for it, although that might just be the US underreporting again.

It's a pointless distinction imo because we'll never defeat capitalism
even if we take "we'll never defeat capitalism" as truth (which I don't think it is), the distinction is not pointless. there were other economic systems before capitalism,

and honestly, this plague could be a major catalyst for the "defeat" of capitalism

Yes, human beings are inherently amoral.

It's why we have to teach children moral lessons for them to grow up into decent people, and even then that's no guarantee.

I haven't read The Plague

Lord of the Flies completely fails though, at least as a representation of humanity at its limits. it doesn't realize that a group of young rich boys whod never gotten a papercut before might react to a survival scenario differently from the rest of the world
