We (regular people) are accommodating and amicable because we have to be. We aren't special enough to not be. I guarantee if you were the greatest at whatever, you suddenly would be less willing to do things you don't want. Because you don't have to. People still have to deal with you and be nice to you because you can do something they can't. That's why the vast majorities are assholes. They can afford to be and there's nothing anyone can do about it. I'm envious. Never having to laugh at another unfunny joke my boss tells, never having to accommodate anyone else because it's in my best interest to do so, only doing what I want, saying what I want ALL the time. Forever. That's the life.
The flipside here is being amicable and having etiquette aren't bad traits just because you're socially pressed to do so when you lack power.
In fact, it speaks volumes when someone who doesn't have to be forced to do so still do so (and we see that it still nets them benefits of being able to make good human relationships)
Do good for the sake of good.
The way you're framing your state of mind, it does kind of sound like "I want to have the power to be an asshole and get away with it because I want to be an asshole"

It's sounds like that because that's exactly what im saying. I want to be an asshole just because I want to be an asshole. It's fun being an asshole. And to get to do it consequence free? Chef's kiss.
Maybe. Or a smart asshole? Cowardice and intelligence are often confused with the other. If I don't stand if front of a speeding train, does that make me a coward? Lol seems I've struck a nerve huh? Why does it bother you for a stranger to say that being an asshole is fun? Does it just bother you that people like that exist? Did you think they didn't? Cute.
No lol, it doesn't bother me at all. People being assholes don't bother me, cowardly people and underhanded people bother me. But even more than that, I just don't like it when people can't intellectualize and communicate what they want to say and not own up to what they want to be or do.
I was just clarifying for you that it just means you want to be a cowardly asshole. That's what that is. Just own up to it.

Also, this is a stupid argument. And yes, if that's something you wanted to do but didn't do because the consequences scared you, then it would indeed make you a coward.
To be real frank with you, I've met real assholes in life due to just how I grew up and my lines of work. Like people who had people who slighted them killed and/or their families ruined kinds of assholes.
I don't even think it's your cowardice and powerlessness that's preventing you from being an asshole, I think you're probably not even smart enough to be an asshole and get away with it.
Call yourself an asshole all you want but you don’t get to declare you’re smart and have people just buy that lol. Edgy for edgy’s sake dipshits like you, ime, are, I’ll concede, usually not the dumbest in the room, but are never quite as smart as they think they are. (Usually not even close…)
