Or if i felt like it i could try to be more charitable. It's all just propaganda at the end of the day either way.

The truth is though, and i know this is somewhat sociopathic, but if i could just snap my fingers and be rich, even if other people had to suffer, i probably would press that button. To me it would be the safe, possibly phony answer to suggest otherwise.
Translation: I who have bitched about post-modernism saying that truth is relative am now handwaving away everything that criticizes my self-absorption as just propaganda cause everything is just propaganda at the end of the day but also self-interest is rational truth.
