>>98332335Altruism is important and beneficial when it helps both the people and the community, but when it has reached the point where you're "helping" people at the expenses of your own community, it fails for all the sides in the long run.
Nothing is good in extremes, not even altruism and good will. Moderation is salvation.
Not even a centristfag, I'm just saying that people who think extreme altruism is inherently good and not detrimental (and destructive) to a society are just people who don't understand that the world is not black & white (and also fucking blind, considering what is happening nowadays in Europe, and the whole situation with Africa).
I remember a philosopher who argued the sad paradox of humanity was that, as beings that create society in the search of safety, we tend to be altruist by nature, however that was a negative evolutionary trait as egoism has more possibilities in nature to ensure survival.
Wish I could remember that guy's name.
