Unfortunately, the idea of the rich elite being child raping satanists is too farfetched for the normie liberals to believe, but stealing investments directly from Stonks affects everyone directly and much more believable in the eyes of normies.
Thata what is called original sin.. It's not sad, it's our nature.
We can only hope to break the programming, Fren.
We're talking about two different things here, baseline self interest is good, because it more accurately solves societal problems. There's a better chance you know what you want to do than me trying to think on your behalf, that's ever the problem with socialism, doing things on behalf of others ends up doing everything badly save for those at the top.
Baseline self interest is different from acknowledging your country is going to be gone in 50 years and saying "Oh well I got my speedboat out of it, fuck it lol". That's pathological indifference.
Ethnocentrism likewise is not racism, the muddling of these things into one makes it easier for people to misrepresent it in arguments and sink the issue back into the mud.
