#331 A Golden Age for Assholes

There are people who we probably shouldn't know about but do, and there are people who should have no influence at all, but their influence is enormous. One of these people is Andrew Tate, and another is Donald Trump. Both of these men are assholes.

The problem with assholes is that though they might occasionally appear to care about other things and other people, they only truly care about themselves. Whatever causes they attach to just inflate the self.

Again, Trump is the asshole avatar of our age. Say whatever you want about him, the man is simply impossible to shame.

Being an asshole is not just a matter of style; it's a matter of substance. Because to be an asshole is to care about the wrong things; it is to not have one's priorities straight. Of course, many of us don't have our priorities quite straight, but only an asshole is inclined to celebrate this failure in public.
