    The normal people disagree with your defense of conservatism. Conservatives are pure evil and should be dealt with as such. Your insults only add to my motivation to erase them.

      They’re only insults if they’re false statements. I’d sooner see you burned than most any conservative I actually know. Your inability to effect any real change in your everyday life and therefore feel the need to LARP political violence online is your own fault, not conservatives. Go volunteer at a local food pantry and save the world from reading more of your twisted delusions.

        Funny you would suggest that specific activity. I have donated my time at food pantries. Many, many times. One thing I’ve noticed there is a distinct lack of conservative volunteers.

        Conservatives are biologically unable to experience empathy for others. This is why conservatives are almost never found giving their time to the vulnerable unless there is something in it for themselves (ex: church cred, entry to heaven, free food).

        Conservatives’ inability to experience empathy is also why their relationships are so shallow. For example, a conservative male sees his family as his property. He loves his wife the way a teenager loves a sportscar. He cannot develop a deep personal affection for his wife because that requires empathy.

        A conservative’s lack of ability to experience empathy is also why bigotry comes so easily to conservatives. It’s why genocide is so easily supported by conservatives. It’s why conservative policy so consistently harms the vulnerable.

        If you are not a conservative, you really shouldn’t defend them. They will never humanize you. Never. They don’t even humanize each other. They simply can’t.

          I hope you know that every sentence you said about conservatives is just blatantly false and doesn’t do anything but paint you as completely unhinged. To be fair you already accomplished that so I guess it’s a moot point.

          The statement that conservatives don’t experience empathy is genuinely among the dumbest things I’ve ever read. If you’re going to argue that the chance that some get some reward from good deeds, you’d better also not benefit at all from your good deeds. That includes feeling gratified. If you do get something out of it, and simply excuse it (as you should), but draw some arbitrary line to only include conservatives then you’re simply too immature and dysfunctional to participate in society.

          Your insane views don’t do anything to critique conservatives, they only serve to show how dysfunctional your world view is. The left would be better off if you did the right thing and kept your thoughts to yourself.

            I disagree. The left should not keep our thoughts to ourselves.

            Turning the other cheek over and over again is how we ended up with conservatives building concentration camps in the U.S. The time for us to speak loudly and be heard is right now.

            I notice your weak defense of conservatives lacks examples or evidence to support your claims that conservatives can experience empathy.

            Perhaps you can tell me what I should say to conservatives in my debates when they tell me “empathy is fake”. That’s a fairly common defense from conservatives against my position that they cannot experience empathy. Should I tell them they are wrong and they can experience it?! 🤣

              You don’t speak for the left. You don’t speak for lefties. You don’t speak for progressives. You don’t speak for socialists. You speak for yourself, and you shouldn’t do that.

              I don’t engage with anecdotes or hypotheticals, but here’s a paper from nature that should help. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-12227-0

              The fact that you demonstrate zero empathy for conservatives while bemoaning “lack of empathy” is certainly a sight to behold. It’s no wonder no conservative will demonstrate empathy for you when you can fit their eradication.

                Your study does not address the conservative’s lack of empathy. At all. In fact, if anything, it supports my position regarding conservative “love” being related to their positive expressions of ownership.

                After reading your cited study, it’s no wonder conservatives are so quick to disown their family members for being LGBTQ or for having interracial relationships. It’s also no wonder conservatives will so often “trade in” their spouse for a younger model without any expression of loss. It seems conservative “love” really is shallow.

                Look, no progressive is going to be fooled by your gaslighting that conservatives are empathetic and caring when ALL of our life experiences with conservatives show the exact opposite. Even conservatives themselves openly despise empathy, calling it “woke”, “imaginary”, “weakness” or “sinful”. The enemy you are defending openly and proudly disagrees with your defense.

                Conservatives will not spare you from the camps just because you argued in their favor. They will eventually turn on you as well. It’s just the nature of conservatism. They need an enemy, and you will eventually be in that group if they continue to grow in power.

                  Lmao, I’m very scared of the conservative witch hunt coming my way. I wonder if it’ll be as violent as what you call for against conservatives.

                  You once again are showing much more of your intellectual capability within your critique then you are exposing any truth carried by your critique. If you can read that paper and come to the conclusion that conservatives don’t possess empathy you’re blinded by bias.

                  Ultimately you will never have an ounce of respect from any significant portion of the population because you routinely call for the exact action your fear monger conservatives will enact. The worst version of a conservative you could ever come up with is just you with a bible in hand.

                    Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. I am not fooled by you pretending conservative violence upon the vulnerable is “imaginary”. You know we (the normal people) can see it, right? We document it in video and share it on social media. All while conservative propagandists and apologists lie incessantly, trying to gaslight the population to disbelieve our eyes and ears. Your lies are tiresome and weak.

                    You have not convinced me to alter my views about how conservatives/fascists should be dealt with. Not even a little. In fact, the more you squirm and post weak deceptions, the more confident I become in my understanding of my enemy.
