Every single egoist I've ever spoken to has been a noodle-armed internet commie who would never dare break a single rule or social convention but soothes his ego by telling himself that he totally could if he wanted to but he just doesn't want to.
In the modern world generally you benefit the most by breaking rules in ways other people don't notice. I'll steal a third of my cart in the self check out but Im not going to go on a rape rampage just because I don't think morals are real.
I have no idea where this idea comes from. How the frick are self check outs "demeaning"? Is going through the isles and putting your groceries in the cart also demeaning? To me being able to scan my shit and go is a million times more convenient.
>Perform manual labor that was previously done by the employees >Card reader doesn't randomly work >Have to wait for the wagie to press the button for the machine to start scanning again
Sure it's convenient if you like saving time like the HUSTLER you are, a real fricking GO-GETTER, but here it makes things way fricking slower because it gives wagies an excuse to not stand at the counter and you have to line behind fricking grannies slooooowly counting their peanuts and trying to scan them, you fricking tool.
>tfw too worried about a potential confrontation to try stealing at self checkout
I know the wagies don't give a shit AT ALL, but just the possibility of being stopped and having to go through the rigmarole that would come from such a kerfuffle is enough to put me off the notion. I just wanna get my shit and go home.

Do they not work by barcodes? Are you telling me I could have just walked in and taken chocolate or drinks and walked out and it wouldn't have gone off?

Absolutely not, barcodes don't have some sort of an off-on switch in them, nor does the store have any sort of insane inventory management software running at the gates.

That’s why you buy shit that has alarm tags and you steal shit that doesn’t, like groceries.
Black person, a barcode are lines of ink on paper or plastic. What the frick could those barcodes do to note whether they were payed for or not? Furthermore EVERY barcode on the same product is the exact same before and after you buy it. It's just there to identify what the item is, nothing more. Are you really that fricking moronic?
I have lived my entire life believing this. The only reason I haven't just stuffed my pockets with shit is because I thought if I didn't scan it the alarm would go off.
Tomorrow I will steal.

Go buy a pair of jeans or something with an alarm tag. Then shove a headset in your backpack. When you walk out, the alarm will go off and you hold up your jeans or whatever and they just assume it was a glitch with their system and you walk right out.

Some products, usually the expensive ones, have an RFID sticker on them. It's that small piece of usually white plastic that they stick on the outside. Those things are usually deactivated at the register, but you see them a lot less now that self-checkout has become so popular. It's why most stores that had those alarms now just have someone posted at the entrance that looks for expensive shit and checks your receipt to make sure you payed for it.

>he totally could if he wanted to but he just doesn't want to.
sounds reasonable, if breaking the rules would put you in an undesirable situation due to the repercussions of doing so then not breaking them becomes something you want to do
You are a moron and do not understand egoism. Your argument is as meaningless as saying “if this character does not rape and kill everyone they see, they are not an egoist.”
If someone holds a gun to me head and says “follow the rules or I will shoot you” then I’ll follow the rules even if I don’t believe those rules pertain to some sacred objective truth. That’s essentially an egoist’s situation in society. Being an egoist doesn’t mean breaking any rules whenever possible for the sake of breaking them, it only means to not be beholden to rules or codes when it’s in your interest not to be. The idea that you must wear clothes is a spook but getting thrown in jail is not. I’ll stop wearing clothes as soon as the powers that be arent in a position to imprison me for not wearing them.

You aren't special, homosexual.
If they reject spooks (essentially social constructs in the most all encompassing sense) and live the way they want to. Basically rejecting notions like honor, duty, morality, property, religion, patriotism, “common sense”, appeals to biology, emotion or reason, etc and doing what you want instead.
Stirner is memeable to all hell though. >Someone posts something moronic

Same. I've stolen hundreds of yuros worth of shit by "accidentally" missing to scan items in self check out cashier stations.
Fricking A, it's already demeaning enough that I have to scan my own fricking shit.
I have no idea where this idea comes from. How the frick are self check outs "demeaning"? Is going through the isles and putting your groceries in the cart also demeaning? To me being able to scan my shit and go is a million times more convenient.

what qualifies someone as an egoist i don't quite understand
To live solely based on one's own judgement while disregarding things like morality and god
there are 0(zero) egoist people real or fictional
ask yourself: does this character wear clothes?
if yes (it will always be yes) then they are not an egoist
You are a moron and do not understand egoism. Your argument is as meaningless as saying “if this character does not rape and kill everyone they see, they are not an egoist.”
people wear clothes because its what society expects
they adhere to societies' standards
therefore, they are not an egoist
If someone holds a gun to me head and says “follow the rules or I will shoot you” then I’ll follow the rules even if I don’t believe those rules pertain to some sacred objective truth. That’s essentially an egoist’s situation in society. Being an egoist doesn’t mean breaking any rules whenever possible for the sake of breaking them, it only means to not be beholden to rules or codes when it’s in your interest not to be.

Society also expects you not to jump in front of cars, Egoism wouldn't expect you to throw yourself under one.

Egoism is a spook
If you feel the need to follow some “code of egoism” then yeah it is.
I refuse to accept rampant stirnerism on my board, when we had sartre for more than a century ago.
it smells of contrarian and hipster
I don’t follow the ideas of anyone who looks like Sartre. Physiognomy supersedes all other forms of judgement of individuals.
