When the system enables a culture of self-serving sociopaths, kindness is counter-culture. In a capitalistic system where sociopaths are rewarded, kindness is an act of rebellion.
Here are signs of sociopathy:
- Strong disregard for social norms, laws or rules at home, at work, in school and other public places
- Violating the rights of others
- Minimizing others’ feelings and how they affect other people
- Chronic manipulation, gaslighting, denial and deceit
- Difficulty forming healthy relationships
- Callousness and lack of remorse
- Acting impulsively without concern for consequences
- Attempting to gain power and control through aggression
- A tendency toward petty crime, physical violence or fighting
- Substance misuse

These are characteristics that I've identified, in part or in full, in capitalists and conservatives who support that system.
Kindness is punk. Being kind is anti-establishment. When the establishment are just a bunch of vile, evil, self-serving assholes, being kind is the best way to rebel. Through kindness we build community. Through community, we build strength. And with strength we will defeat the that evil.
Rebel! Be punk! Be kind!
Personally, doing random acts of kindness every day is how I can still feel human.
Way to fuck up relative world peace, Israel. I wouldn't be surprised if they used nukes at some point. And if they do, I fucking hope pur world governments are going to fucking react and tell Israel to sit the fuck down ans shut the fuck up.
