Dear progressives

[Yarglenurp]

Embrace conservatism.

No, I’m serious. The average conservative operates under the bizarre notion that a progressive is weaker because they show mercy and kindness to those around them. They see any act of good faith as another avenue of attack.

They do this without realizing that it has never been the impoverished who were merciful or far-sighted enough to want a better world for everyone.

So, give the conservatives what they want. Let Trump’s America ring clear across the land. For generations, we collectively fought against lies and grift because we knew, fundamentally, they were detrimental to any society.

But we now live in the grift era. This is what they want and demand from us all.

So show them what that truly means. Let the wealth flow into your coffers like never before. You have jobs. They do not. You have advancement opportunities that they have robbed from their own children.

You are rich. Now grow richer.

Liberals believe that empathy is a super power.

Liberals believe that empathy is a super power.

Empathy should be a base trait required.

 

[MasterAnimus]

Liberals believe that empathy is a super power.

"We will protect women, whether they like it or not" is quite empathetic.

 

[Saint_Ann]

Empathy should be a base trait required.

Empathy doesn't actually accomplish anything except to make the empathizer feel good about themselves.

 

[ll74]

Empathy doesn't actually accomplish anything except to make the empathizer feel good about themselves.

Yes, I get that you believe that

 

[RobDownSouth]

Liberals believe that empathy is a super power.

"We will protect women, whether they like it or not" is quite pathetic.
It's also patronizing, but I digress.

 

[Saint_Ann]

Yes, I get that you believe that

I feel bad for you. Does that help?

I never said that.

 

[Politruk]

I feel bad for you. Does that help?

No, but it's good to know you feel bad.

 

[Saint_Ann]

No, but it's good to know you feel bad.

Are you confusing emotion for empathy?

 

[John_von_Neumann]

Empathy doesn't actually accomplish anything except to make the empathizer feel good about themselves.

You're definitely a sociopath, Ken.

 

[Saint_Ann]

You're definitely a sociopath, Ken.

How do you use empathy to improve the world in 25 words or less. I'll wait.

 

[ll74]

I feel bad for you. Does that help?

Ascription isn't the same thing as empathy.

 

[Saint_Ann]

Ascription isn't the same thing as empathy.

Same question.

it's more than that... it's dangerous.

it's a statement saying their voice silences the voices of the women and that is just fine... 'daddy knows best'. And this from the criminal & sexual exploiters.

 

[ll74]

Same question.

Already answered.

Speaking of Capt. Empathy....

Must be in a different thread. Link?

Oh look, someone who's never listened to a single conservative ever, just what hateful leftist say about them.

So show them what that truly means. Let the wealth flow into your coffers like never before.

We want you to be wealthy too!!
That doesn't upset us at all.

You have jobs. They do not.

Aren't you guys the ones that need us to pay your student loans off for you??? LOL

You have advancement opportunities that they have robbed from their own children.

Nope. And at least we have children

You are rich. Now grow richer.

Yes.....just so long as you don't do it by robbing others via government authority. That's the actual problem "conservatives" (everyone not "progressive") have with "progressives". Not getting rich, HOW you guys like to get rich.

You are not seriously arguing that anyone ever got rich on welfare, are you? I mean, even for you...

 

[UltraChad]

I agree, we should let them be brutalized.... call 911 and watch the violence against chest feeders show like Democrats want.

 

[UltraChad]

You are not seriously arguing that anyone ever got rich on welfare, are you? I mean, even for you...

Actually, yes I am.

Not the food stamps welfare...the BILLIONS in contracts and "emergency" funding for self inflicted stupid like "too big to fail" and a "undocumented persons" or "persons in need of housing" crisis.... absolutely. That shit is BIG money.

We all remember W's "compassionate conservatism," and we all remember that nothing worthwhile ever came of it.
