There is no self righteous egotistical joy in having animosity against ugraders and AFA. A hippie by heart- id much prefer to spend time helping each other out and celebrating a fantastic hobby.
I would prefer never to get into these scrapes with other 'collectors', but on one side there is passion, restoration, protection and enjoyment. On the otherside there is rape, pillaging and profit. You can use the ugrade model and use it to methodically analyise many other issues in the world.
The same selfish character traits found in ugrading can be found in short term banking derivatives, military spending, environmental issues with energy corporations. Everything that is another brick in the wall comes from the same character traits by lower evolved parasites that don't understand that they can operate the way they do because the rest of us has safeguarded that environment for the hoping they would support it and add to it rather than rape it.
There are 2 different types of people in this world. Don't get distracted by gender, religion, race or social class. There are only 2 types:
Those that give and those that take.
Fortunately the majority of people I have met in this world are givers. The takers don't realise this as they feel they are hidden in the crowd. But they are not. They're character traits stick out like a Nazi uniform in gay pride rally. Shame on them for their evolution has not surpassed their own awareness and social consciousness.
For more information on cuntyness, please watch the following highly acclaimed documentary that analyses where these character traits came from. It draws parallels of the rise of liberalism and capitalism and the breaking of socialist ideals that were the steady foundation to what old timers called 'community'.
