I quote the part everyone remembers:
"The core of assholery is that in some way, spiritually, mentally, or behaviorally, the asshole is an egotist as opposed to an egoist.
…
2025-01-14 07:55:33.873 / 3lforlftddq2w
An egoist holds their life and fulfillment as the prime value, whereas an egotist sees their life and existence as the only possible value.
…

An egoist recognizes others as like themselves and appreciates their virtues as they reflect their own. An egotist sees others as alien entities to either align with or conquer, reward or punish, and step on or serve on their perceived path to greater power, happiness, enlightenment, or salvation. …
2025-01-14 07:55:33.875 / 3lforlftecz2w
An egoist pursues the retention and expansion of these values, being people and their wealth, against time’s attrition. To an egotist, everything is disposable, as nothing exists beyond their aggrandizement, so they continually use, abuse, and ultimately destroy.
…
2025-01-14 07:55:33.876 / 3lforlftfcb2w
An egoist has no reason to skirt the benevolence of the principles of respect and esteem for themselves or others and acts accordingly. The egotist has no goodwill, only convenient facades fashioned by their loyalties, partisanship, and their flattering support of themselves.
…
2025-01-14 07:55:33.877 / 3lforlftfcc2w
An egoist’s only way to remain at the peak of their actualization is to tend to and strengthen the foundation. In contrast, the egotist must tear anything in reach down so that they remain the tallest.
…
2025-01-14 07:55:33.878 / 3lforlftfcd2w
The evolution of an egoist is an expansion of grace protected by an equitable rage against injustice. Egotists are like statues, never growing and continuously endeavoring towards greater rigidity lest their frail structures crumble.
…
2025-01-14 07:55:33.879 / 3lforlftfce2w
Egotists are the true believers, convinced by nothing else, the willful transmitters of pernicious misinformation, the manipulators of rhetoric by insidious audience appeal, the popular oppressors, the arbitrary sneerers of societal disapproval, …

the enforcers of ignorance and the status quo, gluttons for the unearned, and the ransackers of virtue. They believe they deserve anything they desire by any means for merely existing. No rules apply to them, for they are special by self-appointment. Their anger, their suffering, and …

their perceived slights are always more important than anyone else. They must always be right, by fact or ridicule, and must always have their way, by force or scam.

Their current methods depend on the construction of echo chambers to house the refinement of their preferred dialectic instruments. These tools and weapons take many forms, all couched in misrepresenting reality and appealing to emotion. Their implementations include moving the goalposts, …

redefining the vernacular, calls to tradition, mob tactics, straw-manning, elevating opinion/perception/desire above fact, demagoguery, tarnishing others character over an opinion, making shit up, loud pervasive and sonorous displays of bravado, flailing stabs to find any …

perceived psychological weakness, spreading and justifying hate, misogyny, bigotry, supremacy, oppression, and other logical fallacies.
Not every asshole displays these qualities all at once, and detecting a trait doesn’t mean such is total assholery. …
2025-01-14 07:55:33.885 / 3lforlftfck2w
What might at first appear in isolation as assholery may prove ultimately to be the opposite. This renouncement of context is the primary social tool of assholes, so beware.
People disagree and have strong feelings. Some may despise others and, when provoked, display such, and …
2025-01-14 07:55:33.886 / 3lforlftgbs2w
sometimes other’s actions deserve condemnation. The difference between these reasonable and often emotional disagreements and assholery is that an asshole, consciously or not, is persistently malicious and nefarious. …

They purposefully fan the flames, ignore contradictions, act willfully ignorant and promote such, make no corrections, have no sympathy, protect injustice, evoke abuse, and are generally (as Merriam-Webster puts it), “a stupid, annoying, and detestable person.”

Mrs. Kerzner liked it, and supported it, and even feigned to us (my husband and I) a slight admiration of Ayn Rand, right up until I was the bad guy and now suddenly Ayn Rand is back to being for shallow individuals who create their own problems endlessly.

I'm not sure where in those communications of solidarity, admiration, encouragement, and enthusiasm for these kinds of ideas we were supposed to parse apart quite carefully that she was indeed a rageaholic. It's difficult to ascertain true character when the person is putting on a performance.
2025-01-14 07:58:02.002 / 3lforpt3qof2w
Not so sure about all that?
This is in a group that was previously titled, "Ayn Rand Universal"
She was part of it willingly. In fact, upon joining a 'fight' erupted between me, Stuart, Avneet, and Maus about men's opinions on feminism. We we're all sympathetic with her against Avneet.
2025-01-14 08:08:49.848 / 3lfosd4wmnf2w
I believe, though I can't speak for him, it cost Stuart a friendly relationship with Avneet as he stormed out of the group and talked negatively about me to other Objectivists, claiming we were saying something we were not.
And yet, I remained true to her and our friendship because fuck those guys.
2025-01-14 08:08:49.849 / 3lfosd5rymn2w
She camouflages super well guys. I was never aware of what she would say on her videos because I never watched them. I was just her friend. I have started watching them and, wow, had I done so earlier I could have saved a lot of heartache because girl, I have issues with all of it.
2025-01-14 08:08:49.850 / 3lfosd5rymo2w
Avneet stormed out and talked negatively about me. Stuart did not. After Liana 'dumped' me, Stuart and I reconnected and have been quite happily discussing things since in our atypical philosophically detailed ways. Our chat messages are sometimes pages long. It's wonderful!
2025-01-14 08:10:22.816 / 3lfosfvlltw2w
Perhaps if she had just told me her honest opinion of Ayn Rand and of me stating that people don't have "intrinsic value" so we could deal with it and hash it out (or not) instead of waiting to get angry or have a "trauma response" to dump it all on me in a very hurtful fashion in order to
2025-01-14 08:18:49.506 / 3lfosuyskcg2w
help me see the light and 'get better,' this all could've been avoided. The fact is, she didn't, and she proceeded to quite self-centeredly steal my affection by not telling me where I really stood with her. …
2025-01-14 08:18:49.507 / 3lfosuz4csg2w
It was only after she unfurled her disgust with me and rage at my stances in the most hateful way I could imagine did I truly understand where I stood.
And where I stood was forgive-able. I felt bad that this communication hadn't happened, but I could understand why. But…
2025-01-14 08:18:49.508 / 3lfosuz4csh2w
But then to top it off, without warning, she threw me under the bus for her own gain (to excuse *her* failures).
It was then that I knew there was nothing to forgive. Our friendship hadn't ever really existed, just like Nathan Bruce Messer. The only difference is when I confronted Nathan…

He came clean and told me I was right, and then left my life. Liana Kerzner has refused to be honest, come clean, be authentic and vulnerable, or admit any wrong doing. All she's done is expound on how awful we are and how she's a victim that *can* be held accountable… on her terms only.
2025-01-14 08:18:49.510 / 3lfosuz4csj2w
And yeah, I *don't believe that people have "intrinsic value"* and I'm fine with that, and defending that. Mrs. Kerzner clearly isn't. It probably isn't meant how the reader may likely interpret. I can explain or answer any questions (or defend the stance). I'll do so elsewhere as desired.
