    If more people acted like Everett True, we’d live in a much nicer world. We’ve given assholes far too much free reign.

      We don’t just give them free reign, for the most part the world promotes being selfish.

      Damn near everything we ever hear takes no one else into account. Living wage is less and less common, billionaires have all the money in the world and zero accountability, healthcare (Mostly US specific) is an overpriced scam with no guardrails, food costs whatever the fuck the people who control it tell us it costs regardless of production costs, housing costs way too fucking much, fake news is more and more prevalent and conning more and more fools.

      Its easy to see why people focus on no one but themselves anymore, its just the way of the world, toxicity is winning.

      Being massive assholes to people you feel are being assholes. No contradictions there.
