    Yeah I thought it was US based on context too. I should’ve been suspicious when the employee didn’t open fire on the family…

            I agree with what I think you’re trying to say, which is that moral narcissism is good, but I don’t think moral n*rcissists are smug assholes. I think they’re people with a pathological need to improve and treat others with kindness.

              So by making some snarky comment about how a guy working at a movie theater would probably just shoot the whole family if they were all in America, you think the original comment is by someone who seeks to improve and treat others with kindness? Are you even reading the same thread?

                No. I said it was a weird compliment and I meant it. It’s weird to call this movie theatre guy a moral n*rcissist. He doesn’t act like one at all!

                Impossible to improve if there is no reflecting on the current reality before changing. I’m just reflecting on mine: I braced myself for another murder story and was pleasantly surprised, even if this story was still a bad one.
