Consider, are you exceptional in the sense that you would not place yourself in any camp whatsoever, ascribe to any ideology? You're neither left or right? Actions dictate identity.
Having an interest in something is not the same as having a superiority complex.
- noqc 1y agoIf your name for your "ideology" is "better than yours", then yes, I consider this to be a superiority complex.
- lanfeust6 1y agoThat is a projection. The right analogy would be "trying to be better". If your ideology was about helping others does that necessitate it implies those in the outgroup do not help others? At this point I think you're trolling.
