That's how koan shows his existentialist compassion:

Washing clothes now and then off to a few adventures before Friday night poker where we fleece the amateurs and drunks when they get their weekly pay checks.
I may go to hell for this behavior. It is my worst sin for sure. ..

But since he supports liberal positions (abortion, free stuff from the government, gay marriage, transgender bathrooms, all the great moral issues of our time) down the line and that makes him "nice" by definition.

I am so depressed. I went into the Walmart in Renton and the poverty and illiteracy was pervasive. Walmart getting rich exploiting the poor. It was so horrible. They hire tons of marginally mentally retared and then pay them a pittance. I felt so sorry for more than half the people I saw in there.

And the number of obviously poor people had a huge impact on me. I am in the upper 7% tax bracket and I say tax the hell out of me to help the poor.

We need universal health care and universal free education and we need to tax the rich and become a civilized country.

It really had an impact on me. This is just not acceptable!

What a hypocrite. Koan HIMSELF, by his own admission, is trying to get rich by exploiting those same poor people! If he wanted to help the poor maybe he'd stop trying to fleece them out of their pitiful little paychecks!

And what is it about Renton? Why was he there? Because it's casino city - Freddie's, Diamond Lils, Silver Dollar Casino, etc - I looked it up online. Gee, think there could be a connection between poverty and gambling? He's there in hopes of fleecing the poor little losers he cries over and pretends to care about.

Get how he says "I felt so sorry for more than half" of the people he saw in the Renton Walmart, while all the time he's looking forward to ripping off as much of their paychecks as he can.

Liberalism is all about convincing self-absorbed creeps they're really enlightened noble souls.

"So fleecing drunks of their money is your self serving way of helping them?" Have some more stupid pills! Of course when I play for money I hope the other person is a very poor player. And if they think drinking improves their play--that is none of my concern. There is no reason for me to fake reality for people. That would be immoral. Everything I learned of any value was through making mistakes. You do not help people by preventing natural consequences and thereby circumventing the natural learning process. Basically, people do not lose at poker because they are drunk. They lose because they are being outplayed.
