Egoism works in two philosophical aspects. Psychological and ethical/moral (there is a difference between ethical and moral but here I’m gonna use them interchangeably for simplicity) Egoism as a psychological stance argues that one is self-interest and everything one does is for that end. Moral/ethical egoism argues that one should act in their own self-interest. Egoists like myself use egoism in the political sense to argue that our institutions, religions, concepts of good and bad are merely “spooks of the mind.” Simply put they are fixed concepts that only exist to hinder and impede our true nature and we ought to remove them from our behavior and thought process. Egoism in this interpreration therefore allows us to see it as compatible with anarchism because it also believes hierarchies such as the “spooks” are unjustified and should be dismantled.
This is an excellent explanation of my position. Thank you very much for sending this resource. :)

It does not.
The downvotes help this post be ignored.
Was not expecting so much input from so many voices. Thank you all for taking the time of your day to respond to my little dilemma. Means a lot to see comrades helping comrades. :)

Climate@slrpnk.net•Earth Just Had the Hottest 12-Month Span in Recorded History1·2 years agoI am so sorry, that really sucks. :( And this shit’s only get worse unless we do something. The U.S and china are big contributors. America keeps greenwashing to distract consumers. We need to abolish cars and phase out fossil fuels. Nuclear is a good option.

Climate@slrpnk.net•Electric vehicles are hitting a road block: Car dealers1·2 years agoI believe the OP’s point is that because EVs still use fossil fuels and companies still make a massive profit from it, it’s a scam but I could be wrong.

Climate@slrpnk.net•Electric vehicles are hitting a road block: Car dealers2·2 years agoI agree, they use fossil fuels and aren’t gonna solve the problem long-term. More greenwashing for the masses. Abolish cars!
