You aspire to be selfless? Are you sure that's not just virtue-signaling?
Altruism is human sacrifice. It is what those Christians you hate so much founded their religion on. It's a pyramid scheme of altruistic sheep all trying to emulate what they perceive to be the ultimate human sacrifice. The people at the bottom endlessly sacrifice themselves while those at the top only feign to. Jesus himself was a feignt. He either didn't exist and thus gives us a false ideal, or he was merely using pretend voodoo magic on ignorant women and slaves to cure them of the mystical metaphysical disease that he himself have them, sin.
If I was a jew at that time I would have told him I don't need or desire his sacrifice. I need his work or his effort not his death. I would have told him that human sacrifice is a form of barbarism and anyone either asking for it or demanding it is an agent or moral evil. I would have told him to tell his dad to go fuck himself, that these earth monkeys don't need his 'altruism' or his wholly worthless sacrifice.

For your own sake I ask you not to selflessly and altruistically sacrifice yourself to me, Scratch. It obliterates you and enables me. It is lose/lose. Instead, we should work together using each of our own moral and rational self interests to find a win/win solution. You can make my shoes and I'll grow your rice. Don't kill yourself to make shoes and I won't kill myself to harvest your rice. Maybe, instead of hurting ourselves and each other through endless displays of lose/lose altruistic grabs at metaphysical virtue-points, we can trade the efforts of each of our respective labors to find an amicable and self serving solution to my lack of shoes and your lack of rice. We can call this solution capitalism.
Virtue signaling? You think I'm trying to increase my social standing here by saying I don't live up to being selfless but I think it's a quality of the best people? That's crazytalk. Sounds more like you anti-sjw signaling to increase your own.
I'll give you that altruism is the core tenant of christianity, and probably its sole redeeming quality. Selfish people lead shit lives and are shit people and we're all naturally very selfish thanks to evolution and archaic survival mechanisms. Bettering someone else's life is one of the most fulfilling things a human can do.
The reason you find yourself failing to live up to your ideal is because your ideal is illogical, irrational, emotive, and has endless destructive power.
For your own sake and for mine, please do not be selfless. Be compassionate, be respectful of yourself and others, and remember that you cannot help others unless you first help yourself.
This statement is utter nonsense. Compassion, respect, and empathy are hallmarks of altruistic behavior.
On that note, I couldn't help noticing that the egalitarian "of the people by the people" altruist seems to not want to sacrifice himself to the democratic process of the stupid proles in his own state. That demos doesn't count because they don't hold the right political views. The altruist will tell them that they shouldn't get to decide what the nature of their 'people's body' is. The altruist will selflessly put himself at the head of the people's body in order to tell them what is best for them. The virtue is almost palpable.
We shall not allow them to elect their leaders, rather we shall elect them for them. We the technocrats, with our superior knowledge of the.Marxist philosphical tech shall decide what is right for them.
"Marxism is the aristocracy of political conformity. "
Yep that's fairly spot on except for the altruist projections.
