Rise of Vigilantism and Impact of Self-Indulgent Virtues

Rise of Vigilantism and Impact of Self-Indulgent Virtues

Imagine a world where people prioritize being "real" over doing what's best for everyone.

This article talks about that kind of world.

It says that sometimes, this idea of being true to yourself goes too far.

It gives an example of how someone shot a far-right commentator in America.

The author thinks that acting with violence isn't good for society.

It used to be that we all agreed on what's right and wrong, but now it's getting harder to agree.

Being part of a community means getting along.

Doing what's best for others is like how we all take on different roles in life – adjusting how we act with the boss or a crying child.

The article argues that we should focus on cooperation, not just being "real."
