this is an outdated definition of cynicism; i think in many modern cases cynicsm is about the written ideals or formal rules being incongruous with the unwritten "rules of the game" in a way that isnt necessarily (but often is) about self interest.

Changing the definition of the word doesn’t make you right. What I meant is extremely clear, and this sort of pedantry is irrelevant and doesn’t move the conversation forward.

you're not responding to the person you think you're responding to.
1. a person who believes that people are motivated purely by self-interest rather than acting for honorable or unselfish reasons.
So, to be clear, I do not believe all prison guards and staff are motivated purely by self-interest rather than acting for honorable or unselfish reasons. Others do believe that.
