I'm deeply confused by this. Is it suggesting that a stance of hard solipsism is a) true b) what Buddhist philosophy teaches and c) excuses unethical behavior? the post is so short that I don't want to read into it too much but all of those absurd falsehoods are implied

All of the above, plus a misunderstanding of "karma".
-
btw, I think the early Buddhist notion of Karma is, not quite bullshit (that’d be slightly too strong), but rather an extraordinarily limited view of causality.
-
Yes, I don't think an individualist karma need be "there's a cosmic scorecard of your actions judged under such and such conception of good and evil". It could be more casual: "if you spend a lot of time being angry, your mind and environment will cultivate anger".
-
In any case, do the teachings advocate not showing compassion for or taking action on behalf of those with bad karma? That's more what I was getting at. (Not that you were implying that, of course. I think the post was.)

why obscure the name of the person who wrote this?

I'm afraid it's considered a ban-able offense, no?

to tweet screenshot of a public Facebook posting?

Perhaps I'm too used to Reddit.
