Amazing to think of what the world would be like if more busybodies suddenly got "selfish" and helped themselves. They'd likely find there are significantly fewer people crying out for their altruism all of a sudden.
Beware of Machiavellians! They believe that the ends justify the means, so all they have to do is invent an end with an ostensible good in it, then it's OK to lie, cheat, steal or murder; as long as it's directed to that end. This is also the Bernays' & Goebbels' play book. Panic and push. Not working? Create a new fear.
Busybody.
