How arrogant. It's not up to you to decide what improves people's lives. That there are people who are so unsympathetic to others makes my life worse.
It upsets me, genuinely. It gives me very little hope that there will be an end to the infectious othering being promulgated by politics.
- array_key_first 1y agoBelieving something is a benefit and something actually benefiting you are a different thing. You can believe anything. You can believe the Earth is flat, I don't care. > How arrogant. It's not up to you to decide what improves people's lives. You're right, it's not up to me. Its up to reality. Things getting worse for other people don't improve your life. That's not an opinion. That's not something I made up. That's just how the world works. Also, sympathetic? Really? You want me to be sympathetic of you being not sympathetic? How short sighted and downright delusional do you have to be to not see the contraction in that? Obviously a lack of sympathy isn't a position that deserves sympathy. Otherwise, what the fuck are we doing here?
