Hot Take of the Afternoon: There is one way in which Republicans are absolutely right - it takes an antisocial ideology to understand antisocial people, and some people are just that misanthropic. For some people, the more out of our way the rest of us go in being supportive and charitable, the more some beneficiaries are going to absolutely loathe and resent the rest of us for it, because any form of generosity at all reminds them of their failures. Some people simply resent the very need for people to be generous to them, and just like so many libertarians, they believe that any kind of commitment to anyone but themselves is a surrender of pride and independence, which is of course self-fulfilling and also indicative that they care more about nursing their hatreds than they do alleviating the burdens of their lives.
....Am I talking about politics anymore?.....
