Egopath

Egopathy is more socially acceptable than psychopathy, as self-interest is encouraged and praised in countries where liberal capitalism is the central economic system...but it is certainly not limited only to these types of systems.

It is a general condition of human beings.

On the "pure-self-interest --group-solidarity/altruism" scale Egopaths skew strongly to egocentrism and self-interest;
I didn't think that the DSM definition of Narcissistic Personality Disorders quite fits the bill and this apparently widespread phenomenon needed a new category: definitely under the DSM Cluster B Group (Anitsocial-Borderline-Histrionic-Narcissistic), but with a more social-/group-mentality component to it.

The term "egopath" popped into my head one morning, but discovered it already had a definition.

There is in my definition the whole aspect of wanting to control and defend, however one has defined it, one's "integrity" -- bodily, cognitive, spiritual, destiny related -- against forces encroaching on, pushing for this integrity's demise, disintegration.

We are all on this continuum, but egopaths tend to be more cowardly, fearful, self-interested and self-preserving.
N.B. Egopathy seems to be a) widespread and b) quite socially acceptable in many countries.

For example, in German-speaking Switzerland, they say, "Geiz ist Geil!".

Translated: "Greediness is Great/Cool!"
1) During the Covid pandemic, my best-friend turned out to be a total egopath, not wanting to even visit us despite our double-vaccination and social-distancing, for fear of her getting it herself or somehow losing her sense of smell.

2) They were such egopaths during the pandemic that they flew to a vacation in Croatia by plane, but then drove back in a mini-bus accross the Italian border to avoid the stringencies of the controls at their home airport.

Cereal Killer

Could also be someone who stomps on or crushes by hand....well, cereals!
Hates the sugar and sickening-sweet glazey stuff on them.
"Hey, why you no like cereals so mucha you wanna killah dem? A cereal killer, huh?"
When Sandy saw the percentage of corn syrup additive in her children's Lucky Goo Smacks, she almost lost her cookies, but then her rage made her empty the box on the floor, and she stomped the nuggets into a noxious powder!
She had become a "Cereal Killer"!!!

Goes something like this:
-- Don’t people the scientifically as yet unexplained, unexplored areas of our world and reality with wild – or otherwise – conjecture you propose as “TRUTH”.
-- Rigorously relegate said “beliefs” to the realm of wishful-/magical-thinking, fantasy, and fiction or – at the very least – have the courage to …
-- Present “them” as theories open to testing, fact-based repudiation, public scrutiny … and then
ACCEPT THE RESULTS !!! Or – at the very least –
Have the humility and intellectual honesty to call them what they are:
MY OWN …
Crazy Ideas
Desires
Self-psyche-salving delusions (at worst)/”fables” (at best) that help me get through the night,

help me get through life.

Because he refused to even consider the Novacula Franqui (aka Novacula Frangiscc' aka Frankie's Razor), let alone use it, he peopled his ideas of what was going on around him, and in the world at large, with dark Deep States, Alien Beings, Cabals of Reptile-People, et al. Nothing is simply as it seems!!! It gave him the frisson he needed to keep from self-reflection.

Pauper Trolls

Pauper Trolls
noun – satirical, cultural-political slang

Definition:
A group or subculture of perpetually disgruntled, economically stagnant individuals—often older, embittered, and clinging to nostalgic political slogans (e.g., "Make America Great Again")—who congregate (virtually or metaphorically) under bridges of misinformation, grievance, and lost relevance. Typically resistant to progress, allergic to nuance, and suspicious of facts, they bemoan modern life while ironically using its tech to spread their discontent.

Origin:
Coined humorously by a grandchild observing certain TV personas, the term gained traction as a biting generational critique—“out of the mouths of babes!”—for those stuck in cultural or economic stasis while blaming everyone but themselves.

Example:

"When Grandpa starts ranting about the 'deep state' from his Facebook bunker again, my little cousin whispers, 'Pauper Troll alert!'"

Related terms:
Grievance goblins, MAGA mopers, Boomers under bridges, Keyboard cavemen, Foxhole dwellers
