It's even simpler, "empathy" should do it. Conservatives also care a great deal about gay rights, abortion access, government safety nets... as soon as it affects them personally.

"Empathy is the downfall of the west" paraphrasing Melon husk

"Why are you so socialist?" Because I care about people other than myself.

I think you mistook Leftism for Liberalism

[–] xiwi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 days ago

Meh, these are very vague points in which liberals (as in liberalism) mostly believe though.

I didn't like the way they treated Clinton and everything the conservatives have done since then has made it worse.

Clinton was absolutely guilty of perjury/contempt of Congress and should have been successfully impeached. Maybe if he had been instead of selling everyone on "durr it was just a blowjob" it would be easier to hold presidents accountable today.

Clinton was very conservative himself.

Then there was scouting……

  • service to others
  • cleaning up nature areas
  • recycling drives

And this was in the 1970s, so I don’t know what happened to the world since, especially with environmental awareness and action.

im further left than whoever made this, so dont take it the wrong way but this is a fucking stupid meme. Surely the libs can do better than this... whatever this is... right? Like... this is some boomer-tier stuff

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 56 points 3 days ago (45 children)

See that's my only problem with other people on the left.... Conservatives will always support other conservatives. They'll vote for them regardless.

Liberals, Progressives, leftists, they'll kneecap other without hesitation because they can't stand simple progress. They want radical change. And if you can't provide that, then they won't vote, they won't support anyone, they'll talk absolute shit about candidates, ideas, etc.

God forbid anyone tries to sell progressivism to the public... You can always guarantee a leftist will come out of the fucking woodworks to poo poo on it because it's just not left enough for them. Assholes.

For me its summed up by writer Pearl Buck:

“Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members.

You wanna know a sure fire way to know that your dumb as all fuck? Believe that theres only ever 2 sides to any story or conflict. And that what you believe, the other side believes the polar opposite.

The amount of Americans who dont know that the Muslims and Christians worship the same god, is staggering. The God of Abraham, the same god. You wanna know who says its not the same god? Evangelicals and Muslim terrorists. Isnt that funny? But heres the thing, not all Christians are evangelical. And not all republicans are Christian. And not all democrats are atheists. Both conservatives and liberals can and often do share views on women reproductive rights, gun safety, science, and whole host of other topics.

But for some reason, team sports mentality rules. Being conservative means you support everything that the very worst conservative supports. And being liberal means you support whatever the very worst liberal supports. Which, I should point out, is "minor loving persons"... So maybe, next time youre ready to grab your pitchfork and judge a group by its worst member, maybe take a look around and see who's in your gang first. And then ask if its fair that without evidence, you get tarred with that same brush...

This has got to be bait. Put the crack pipe down brother.

This sounds like Grok slowly preparing to be MechaHitler again. Seriously though this somehow seems like it’s AI generated.

Don't judge a group by their worst members, but absolutely do judge them by their leaders.
