I bet he thought people who did things honest and built community were fools despite us often being happier than folks like him
I see you’ve met him (or his archetype) because yes, his favorite past-time was condemning the “sheep” for living their lives in suburbia, paycheck to paycheck, how useless education was, how worthless so many kinds of people are, how miserable life would be living like so, so many people in the world who are happy and loving with their families. He railed against the “spoils of babylon” while sipping champagne and brandy from his private restaurant booth.
He was crushingly miserable and blamed everyone and everything else for it and became physically violent at anyone who dared to challenge his assertions that he was the perpetual victim. He drank himself to death alone and broke because he had burned every bridge in his life and squandered a fortune.
Yeah, everyone who is just fully on board with neitzche. Though the “spoils of Babylon” thing makes it sound like he was religious enough to hate that description of him
Unfortunately him and his kind control large aspects of my country. And yeah I bet he also thought he worked harder than the suckers and earned it all. Folks like that can’t see past their own nose and their introspection is so bad they can’t see much closer than it either. They’re the sort of folks whose stomach aches from overeating and lament that they can’t eat enough to stop the pain as they eat off your plate.
I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to keep my distance from them, but I’ve known the more openly pathetic variant, who aim for your sympathy rather than your honesty.

I was worried there wasn’t going to be a happy ending.
