This a new thing for the right wing extremist element, that is projecting selfishness as a good thing and compassion and empathy as bad things. I mean, the Tories have always promoted greed as a virtue, but this is being taken to a whole new level. Personally, kind people always appear to me to be the most intelligent. In contrast nasty, selfish people come across as incredibility stupid on most occasions when I am unfortunate enough to meet them. This has also been my experience on here as well.
