You've said absolutely nothing. The entire response was to condescend.

Many have died when people look downwards on others with disgust towards them without rationale. Just look at what hitler did to the rats he held power over. Its truly astounding narcissism to think oneself so much greater than another individual.

Individuality at the expense of human life. Seems very selfish, especially when preventative measures are so simple.

The individuals chose it for themselves. Yes very selfish indeed. Selfishness when it concern's ones own self is very much a good thing. Its being able to stand ones's ground.

But what's even more selfish is imposing one's will onto another. That is narcissism.

To believe that you know better for another than he knows for himself. That's not just selfishness, thats narcissism.

I think I lost you.

Is "narcissism" here the choice to be an unvaccinated, unmasked spreader and therefore imposing your sickness on your community, or the imposition of public health requirements on yourself, personally?

From my previous comment:

I never said "unvaccinated, unmasked spreader". You're putting words into my mouth to fit your argument. The narcissism comes from "the imposition of public health requirements", to believe one knows "better for another than he knows for himself".

Please follow the HN Guidelines:

Your disgust means nothing to anyone. And chiding some one to "be better" is the height of smugness. You are not the arbiter or what is right or wrong.
