Minecraft anarchy servers and the way people treat Chris Chan seems like proof to me that human beings are not altruistic (lacking utter selflessness) and probably are motivated by self-interest.
It could be said these examples are primarily online: that most encounters in anarchy Minecraft result in being killed or that people can troll an autist for life doesn't reflect the reality.
TBH, my life experience fills me with doubt. Being an altruistic person is one way to alienate yourself from everyone around you.
The way GTA NPCs act is pretty realistic and accurate: where everyone on the street is kind of an asshole.
When it comes to race and /pol/, that also screams sheer egotism all around.
This point of view isn't really beloved in the traditionalist rightwing community (except the libertarians)–it is not very romantic or aesthetic–but sometimes I find it hard not to believe.
