    Fine, if he still supports this although he is suffering from it, his choice. But making a lot of others suffer from this, possibly in the long run, just makes him an ignorant asshole.

      I knew I would suffer, but I’ll be okay. I’m also making everyone else suffer along with me, and I decided that was okay too.

      The selfishness of the average voter everyone. Notice he didn’t talk about anyone else there except in terms of “whiners” while in the same breath admitting he is causing more suffering.

        They said that it would be more suffering in the short term for them, but it would protect their future and their country

        This wasnt about selfishness, this was about being disinformed

          No there’s still selfishness. They don’t consider how much short term suffering affects other people. If that person owns their home, has savings, can brace for not having a job for a while that’s great. But it’s pretty blase to say that they’ll be fine while they disregard everyone else who isn’t set up as well

            You can ignore a lot of things if you think its for the greater good

            Also, being selfish and not thinking through all consequences is not the same thing

              Yes but the selfishness lies in how he claims he will be fine, without regard for others. Selfish. He isn’t either selfish or ignorant, he is both.

                They are saying that they would be fine in the context of being a part of the people that would suffer. They might have not considered that there are people in worse situations
