The belief that, although you think socialism is evil and wrong, it's okay with it when it benefits you personally.
You'll take advantage of any socialist programs and claim disability benefits, unemployment benefits, or old age government pensions for yourself, all while complaining about everyone else who does the same.

Alice: That person kept posting about how socialism is going to corrupt America, yet now they're posting that Social Security benefits for seniors should be increased.

what everyone in the world is. absolutely no one living on this planet can call themselves "not selfish". its human nature. telling someone to not be selfish is like telling someone to stop being human.
but many people mistake selfishness for greed.
you may be the most generous person on the planet, but if you even WANT the feel-good feeling of giving, you're selfish.

Person 1: ....... fuck you.
