the very FACT that stirner wrote the unique and its property is a testament that he was not only intellectually brave but that he had more sympathy for people than any christian.
as i explore my own objections and kneejerk reactions, getting past duty town and mount shame, i finally reach the core of it all - fear. the fact that my own egoism scares me is merely a projection of the core fear - that OTHERS around me will also become conscious egoists, most, i reckon, more powerful than me! therefore, my compulsive feelings of duty and guilt are nothing more than an offering to others so they don't harm me and turn their will against me, the 'bargaining' stage of grief.
an individualist with no courage to face other egos in an honest duel and no respect for them would gladly let them believe in spooks, even cynically help spread ideologies they themself don't believe in - but benefit from.
instead, bro is teaching individuals how to go beyond moralism and find their REAL power - a power they could easily use against him if they wanted to.
honest egoism is brave as fuck; the shields of law, morality, 'deservingness' fall away one by one, and only I remain - amorphous, undefined, ever-changing as i may be.
