When did you realize that politeness is literally mindless goycattle programming? There's literally zero benefit to being nice to strangers or people that you're not getting favors from. If anything it gives other the green light to fuck you over if they want.
When did you realize that being a dick to people is fucking retarded and locks you out of countless opportunities
that's a valid point, however, when one experiences politeness back it's a wonderful thing.
>>83841492Politeness is reserved for the lower stratums of the social pyramid. The people who stand above you are all dicks.
>>83841477Honestly, the opposite to some extent. Being polite isn't so bad. I mean when you're dealing with a dick that you know is going to act like a dick I use to get really confrontational and I just started to expect it from everyone. I mean I expect it more often that I'm polite and there is always why didn't you do the best thing ever now that you're not being a dick to me pre-emptively since you're a fucking dick.
the jekyll hyde arthur song made me realize this
>>83841477i read this tweet saying morality is a middle class concept both the extreme rich elite and the dirt poor do not give a fuck about shit like morals empathy politeness but everyone in the middle does
>>83841688That's funny I had a friend ask me:Which class do you think you're in? You making it? What are you making? What do you have to show for it?
>>83841477I fucking hate the people around me but I'm polite to them because not doing so could very well bite me in the ass later. Maybe someone is a meaningless stranger now but they could become someone with influence over your life. It doesn't hurt to play safe.
>>83841900I think you're incredibly wrong stating this. People I knew my entire life will stab you in the back when it's convenient for them.
>>83842044Sure, I'm not saying being polite will guarantee safety. But it improves your prospects compared to being a dick right off the bat. People are more likely to respond favorably to someone who isn't blowing up on them for example.
>>83841477OP, I'm asking this without a hint of irony, but when was the last time you actually went out and talked to people?
>>83842116Actively? Last year.
>>83841477being polite gets people to give you stuff or let their guard down etc especially older people.it makes dealing with service workers easier too.that's about it though extending politeness beyond that is a waste of time
>corporations run my country and turned every worthwhile aspect of the human experience into a vapid commodity and now our society is low-trust and hyperindividualistic>I should be like this too!Really nigger? You're obviously not white.
>>83843363>>83843374Good manners are a gift that costs nothing
Being confrontational and angry is nigger activity. Take it from a black man himself.
