Never mind that they themselves would have and continue to benefit from wider society and taxes and government etc. It's the philosophy of the self, the self involved and purely self interested. "Self made men" are often to be found among their number. I did, so why can't everybody else!! types. It's also often populated by those who have been at some point in someway rejected by the very society they seem to despise. The bookish Billy no mates folks in school, who because they are bright do well after school and make a life for themselves, who then project that early social rejection into an odd philosophy. Yes, because I'm not a sociopath. Nor am I a fool(mostly..), because even a fool can see that a society built on such me me me foundations ends up as a shit hole, with wealth accumulating among a tiny percentage, some who feed off them and the rest outside the walls fighting among themselves and trying to get over said walls. As Seamus said; anarcho-capitalism. As for the example of Mexican cartels, that's coming from crazy naivete, trolling, or a place of stupidity.

seamus wrote: » It's a terrible analogy anyway since in any computer game, NPCs generally fare a lot better than playable characters. The playable characters die thousands of times before they taste success. NPCs rarely die, they just tend to their house, talk to passers-by and get to live a happy existence. Of course, make the game a one-shot deal, no save points, no health bar, no magic, just one life, and being an NPC becomes the far superior option.

Like the shorthand all too common like "sheep/SJW/Fascist/NPC/Whatever" stuff on the interwebs. That's the thing about the interwebs, it shows the common mind to be all too common and all too banal and all too easily influenced. Irony free too. QV "Aka people with no inner monologue simply parroting their programming" while spouting a third hand imported interwebs "philosophy" verbatim while thinking others are running on programming. It's rare a debate on any matter and from any side on any matter doesn't at some point do this.
