I am unsure if this comment is in good faith or not but I would say no school takes this mentality.

That said there is an interesting practice described in the rinoceros sutra on the lone buddha or pratyekabuddhayana:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratyekabuddhay

Essentially a buddha for themselves. This is typically not supported in modern Buddhism.

Ok. First, can we all, as people, come to an understanding of what are some primary signs for a bad faith argument are. Second, I don't know much about the Buddhist philosophies. I paid more attention to Western philosophies like the school of cynicism, nihilism, and utilitarianism.
