What do you call people who use the word selfish as a pejorative?
These days, the word selfish is used as a pejorative.
It could be regarded as a synonym for self interest, a natural human tendency, but it is not.
The people who use the word are often the needy, or their sponsors in the government or the political church.
They use the word to describe, with disdain, those who do not step up and willingly meet their unfulfilled needs. In other words, those who do not satisfy their own selfishness.
