They meant the question showed a viewpoint that seemed to center entirely around you (also a rather libertarian thing, honestly).
‘Someone who would never build something for you’ sounds a bit like you’re expecting a tit-for-tat, I-do-this-for-you-so-you-have-to-do-something-for-me in everything, and that’s just not how societies work.
I’m curious; are you using that phrase to refer to, say, rich assholes who just take and take, or Nazi assholes that would rather cut off their own hands than build something a black person might use? Or are you using it to refer to people like severely disabled folks, or say, low-functioning autistic people, who society supports but who don’t have much capacity to ‘return the favor’?
Or are you just referring to future generations, who will be around after you’re gone?
It’s metaphorically, just as building for them is a metaphor. I’m not building anything. Building for me would mean building for people like me. Be it progeny or someone who is lucky enough to be born similar to the way I am and believe similar things.
And yes, I was referring to MAGA, subtext, but doesn’t have to be MAGA or political at all. It’s a thought experiment.
(Also note I was stoned. As I do from time to time)
Sorry, my question really hurt you.
We’re talking about you, bud. I’m good.
What about me? Why not just air your grievances. I won’t mind.
Nah. You want a fight, you can look somewhere else. I’ve got better things to do. I said what I wanted to say.
I won’t fight. You think I’m a narcissist. That’s hurtful but ok. I apologize for however it is i transgressed against you.
How do you want me to behave differently?
Edit: should I not ask questions? Should I not be myself? Should I be nicer?
I’m a person like you. If you do not want to connect with me why engage me in such a confrontational way?
I think it’s just your question comes off as nihilistic and a little bit libertarian, and neither of those is mentally healthy really
Ok, but it was an honest question. So, how is that narcissism? Is every question I ask a representation of what I believe?
