And no, it isn't an instance of "Well, you don't care about other people so why do you expect them to care about you?" Because...
Hym "My INITIAL ASSERTION was the YOU only ACTUALLY GIVE A SHIT in a vague and abstract sense. That if you actually looked at the working class you claim to be for, you wouldn't like them very much at an individual level and would PROBABLY do something vaguely analogous to this. It's visible at a glance. Remember? The monologue from the Joker the I WROTE? That event 1... Or A. Event A is you (in abstraction or just the people around me in general) not giving a shit. Event B is the continuation of Event A. Event C is me not giving a shit. Event D is you saying 'If you don't give a shit why do you expect other people to?' Event E is you saying 'Well, if you don't give a shit then you don't get to suceed without me signing off on it.' That is the entire antecedent chain from the time I started writing until now. And I've already outlined the chain up until I've started writing. So, no. You're still dumb. I'm still smart."
