selfish snow-sweeping

Refers to where some lazy jacka** scrapes/brushes the icy white stuff off his car only enough to let him see out the windshield before driving away on a cold morning. Not only does this prevent him from safely "seeing and being seen", but it also means that huge clumps of snow will periodically fall off his vehicle and splatter onto the plowed roadway, messing up the lane where other motorists have to travel.
I always make sure to thoroughly clear away the latest winter-storm's buildup from my car before venturing out on the road, so that nobody can accuse me of selfish snow-sweeping.

selfish-care

The belief that self improvement happens in a vacuum or begins and ends with oneself. As the opposite of collective care, selfish care symbolizes the hyper fixation of today's western society on individual efforts in regards to self improving and self care. Those individual efforts are often tied to capitalism and the self care industry, as well as colonialism.

iLiana Fokianaki explains in 'The Bureau of Care: Introductory Notes on the Care-less and Care-full':

"While depriving citizens of care, NAS narcissistic authoritarian statism nonetheless capitalizes on the individualist notion of care, widely promoted as “self-care” through an industry with billions in revenues. By ... taking care of oneself, contemporary subjectivities ... are tasked with the care of their overworked bodies, but are less and less interested in the well-being of bodies that are outside of the immediate realm of their family, class, workplace, city, country, and continent. They are further burdened with individual responsibility for their own care, since care has lost its character as a human right and has become a paid service. ".

Selfish care is the accumulation of influences from NAS on individual's belief systems about the notions of care. It represents the indoctrination of the capitalistic evolution of the care system, expressed through the associations with self care that tie it to a profit-driven industry.
"I can't come tonight, I need to do some face-masks and watch Netflix."

"I'm gonna treat myself. F*ck it, selfish-care"
