Being a shitty person feels bad and it leads to people hating you even if you do gain stuff short term

Less friction, fewer people who hate your guts and try to fuck you over
You should be machiavellian instead of being a piece of shit. Pretend to be altruistic while being selfish.

>feels bad
It doesn't feel bad to me
>leads to people hating you even if you do gain stuff short term
im not talking about one and done fucking over people short term, more along the lines of bleeding them over the long term

Wont you have to compete with even bigger douches than you?

>>84586308
Can you elaborate? How selfish are we talking? Do you plan on just being an asshole to everyone?

>>84586308
A conscience

>>84586308
The problem is that you can't disprove selfishness as a valid life center. Blue Lock and House of Cards have inspired some (stupid) people into adopting this as their life philosophy.

in what context? if you mean in terms of a one on one dick measuring contest i could always just disconnect

>>84586415
ealier poster recommended being machiavellian instead of outright being a dickhead, so thats what im going with

>>84586473
What makes them stupid?

>>84586487
I don't think it fits you. If you're asking strangers on 4chan why you should not be a meaniehead, you:
>probably don't have the guts to actually go full Machiavelli
>you don't even have an objective worthy of such attitude
If you continue you'll just end up as a sour man no one trusts/cares about.

There's none: those in power force morality into us, because it makes us better slaves.
Don't believe me, just watch rich people and those in power: you will never see kindness or excessive politeness, just big egos and strong attitudes.

There's a reason why society is slowly crumbling around us: the social contract is on fire, and only the most stupid individuals are ok with "Be good because...because it's just better for everyone!". As if we didn't live in the biggest prisoner's dilemma imaginable...

>le rich people are evil so you shouldn't return the wallet you found on the ground or something

>>84586308
Ignore the moralfags. You are right OP. We live in a society that rewards selfishness, embrace it. Reject the slave moralities.
