My take on a new alignment. Curious if others agree with my placements.

    i can’t imagine fascists believing so strongly that humans are altruistic, surely fascists generally believe people to be as self-interested as they are?

      They expect individuals to sacrifice their self-interest for the nation, and expect leaders to voluntarily do what is in the interest of the nation.

        everyone on the lower rungs of society being obedient, and a fascist directly benefitting from taking control of a country… are seen as altruism? truly wild!

        personally, i’d prefer an alignment chart that sticks to “altruistic” versus “self-interested”, since this shows how skewed it can get when people are convinced that horrible things they’re doing are for the greater good 😬

          Not altruistic in terms of trying to benefit everyone; altruistic in terms of expecting people to unselfishly serve the nation.
