        I mean OP just said “nah” when asked to follow the rules. That would be enough for me to remove the post but then again I’m not the mod

        I hope you don’t, it’s one of those questions that I couldn’t feel more relevant to.

        To answer OP, Zootopia said it best.

        Catch-22’s form when people become stuck in their ways towards each other and are self-fulfilling. This is why standing up for oneself is inferior to sitting down for oneself. I’ve discussed how a previous question of mine can be said to touch upon this, though nobody seems to have understood it. Absolute thinking is the most socially destructive mindset.
