selfishism

"This is an ideology that justifies self-centered individualism, social and economic aggression and the evasion of social responsibility and cooperation through rationales based on mythical concepts such as all-powerful and overbearing government, the inherent inferiority of other racial and ethnic groups, the equation of infantile self-indulgence and economic self-aggrandizement with political freedom, and the innate superiority and desirability of pseudo-individualism and concentration of wealth among a few members of society." ---Glenn Rainey

What is commonly labelled "western individualism" is really just thinly-veiled selfishism.

Selfishing

Self-ish-ing: Occurs in the social networking world. An act of calling attention to one's self by posting a vague comment that entices people to ask you to elaborate.

It's a selfish post intended to fish for attention.

These are examples of selfishing posts:

1) "Man you wouldn't believe what just happened to me!"
2) "Oh my God. I can't believe this. Please send prayers..."
3) "Gee, I can't believe that someone would hurt someone like that"

selfish

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: hey stop being selfish and give me some of your money!

Person 2: you're telling me to not be human. by the way, i believe that i deserve to keep this money because i worked for it and you stood home on your ass watching reruns of Friends. i dont need to give you anything.

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