Better idea. How about we put malignant narcissists and other “le epic trolls” and put THEM in the coal mines to teach them humility?

I’ll never understand why people love being assholes and neurotypicals love assholes and despise kindness.

Cruelty doesn’t make you smart, it makes you look like a decadent pig.

I do think it is a byproduct of capitalism. Kindness doesn't make profit, so it is discouraged, even if it is "officially" seen as a good virtue by people, a lot of people love the anime villain/toddler logic of "It doesn't benefit me personally, so I view it as weakness."
