I'm not a fan of the Rand, but she wasn't on welfare but on social security. The difference is that she had been paying social security taxes her whole life and therefore could justify accepting since she was just getting her money back.

Srs question, what psychologically or philosophically could be used to describe the desire to fuck up your life?
Suicide is obvious but the desire to tarnish your name and fuck up your relationships just for the humiliation and pain seems odd

>> No.7257153

Just to add, notes from underground is an obvious comparison for this feel but I'm just trying to understand why we feel it

Masochistic aka Self-Defeating Personality disorder. It used to be in the DSM along with schizo etc, but it was removed because battered wives associations protested.

Personally, I think it comes from a spiteful desire for control. If you ruin yourself, you can't be ruined by chance or others. You got there first.

>> No.7257180

>>7257159
That's what it's called but >>7257162 raises a good point. Maybe a combination of desiring control and self hatred. Why not exert your control to destroy something you hate.
But why not just kill yourself? Why insist on humiliation when control and destruction are both found in suicide
