molloch is the personnified logic of someone doing something selfish for their personnal gain, but when everyone does it, everybody loses

uh huh. but why? why express it in biblical fluffery, when it's faster (and clearer) to just say the greedy selfish bastards?

When I am Earth dictator, all credit card employees will spend time getting acquainted with a brick wall

if it means the greedies get shot before me I can accept this.

    Everyone is selfish, molloch isn't real,
    it's a thinking pattern that everyone is subject to
    my friends admitted to using credit cards because
    "at least they get rewards"
    by personifying the behaviour pattern
    you can demonize it
    without calling your friends "greedy selfish bastards"
    It is much easier to see it and understanding
    that way than if you're being attacked
    and then become defensive about it
