    My roommate is like this, keeps saying shit like "Human beings are naturally conservative, and only watch out for those in their circle." As if we don't exist in sprawling, interlacing webs of dependency from the day we're born. I'm like, the entire human species is your circle motherfucker, drop this my tribe, their tribe shit. I"ll say it again: People who make these sweeping cynical statements about human nature are just projecting what's inside them.
