In reference to this post.

@twothpaste The especially rich thing about people who justify their cruelty by saying that “The world is screwed up anyways” and “People who are kind are actually stupid, I’m just seeing the world as it is and acting accordingly” (or whatever excuses they conjure up so they can act like an asshole with no sweat off their conscious) is that it’s self-fulfilling.

Like, yeah, sure there are things in the world that are terrible and unavoidable like natural disasters and disease. There’s no amount of “being nice” that can make cancer stop existing. But people’s actions are controllable and if you’re being a terrible person, then you’re part of the reason why the world is terrible. What you do impacts the universe around you, and there is nothing you can do to isolate your actions from the rest of the world, so if you’re being a dick then: Congrats! You’re feeding into your stupid worldview and making everyone else around you miserable, you Ouroborus motherfucker!

#there will always be people out there that will (intentionally or unintentionally) do terrible and evil things and hurt people #and that's just the reality of life. it sucks but it happens #but if you're acting that way intentionally and you're proud of it then i hate you #and also your worldview is beyond my comprehension. why would you actively try to make other people miserable?#you're not teaching anyone anything except that they should avoid you #''yeah i knocked over that kid's sandcastle and sure he's crying but little Timmy's gotta learn that the world ain't fair #I am so smart :smug_face:''#but to get back to Porky it's so fascinating. when he said that he's the 'same old boy at heart' in M3 #he really meant it. even as his body aged he never learned why he shouldn't be a jerk.#he decided to make that his identity and then just ran with it (and it clearly wasn't low on mileage by chapter 8)#he's fascinating in the same way a pimple popping video is:#interesting to observe from a distance and contemplate maybe #but also i would not want to get personally involved with whatever's going on there #(i actually can't stand pimple popping videos but the simile works... kinda)#anyways #i meant to get back to this earlier but i got very very ill and then forgot #did you know that there is a limit to how much pedialyte and soup i can take before i start to lose it???
