Mutual respect is the only way forward
You want us to have respect for the people that say "Fuck your feelings."?
Congratulations on dehumanizing your political opponents
Of course conservatives also have feelings. They have different values, so have their feelings triggered by other things
Its not like this should be news to you, there's books and shit on this
Right-wingers are dehumanizing themselves. For instance, Charlie Kirk's remarks about empathy:
"I can't stand empathy. I think empathy is a made-up, New Age term that - it does a lot of damage, but it is very effective when it comes to politics".
This is a sentiment shared by Republican politicians and millions of their followers. That is different values alright.
But you know the context. The woke narrative is that everyone should be protected from feeling bad and hearing hurty words. Wokes often use "empathy" as a weapon against anyone doing anything. If Charlie Kirk really said that, I suspect that's what he meant. Obviously he's for empathy. Everybody is. What sets us apart is what we do with it.
Having empathy doesn't mean we always need to rush to the aid of whoever cries the loudest. Wokes often have an absurd relation to empathy. People suffer. We can't protect everyone from everything.
You have a strange view of what 'woke' means. Here is a googled definition:
"Woke" originally meant being aware of social injustices, particularly racial discrimination, and originated in African-American English. Over time, its meaning has broadened to include awareness of other social inequalities, but it has also become a politically charged term used as both a compliment for progressive awareness and a derogatory slur for those perceived as excessively liberal or politically correct. The modern, politicized usage is often defined by the user's own political stance."
Nowhere is this definition is there any mention of feelings or being hurt - those are things right-wingers and people pretending to be leftists complain not having themselves respected for. Everybody is not for empathy. Having empathy covers many things, and one of those is helping others if we can, not deliberately harming them. Yeah people suffer, but that doesn't mean that governments and fascist groups should be allowed to go for maximum sadistic behaviour.
Who ever claimed that we must protect everyone from everything? That is nonsense.
Of course conservatives , like all humans, have feelings, but they don't care about hurting other people. One of those values they don't have is empathy, and another is tolerance. They also aren't very rational.
Something conservatives tend to be good at and
leftists bad at is acknowledging the trade-offs. Acknowledging that everything has a cost and willing to discuss what the cost of a policy is. Do you think perhaps, that's what he meant?
You have claimed many times that you are a leftist and a liberal, yet continually spout right-wing mantras.
I'm sorry that I don't spout the correct left wing mantras aproved by the party. My opposition to woke is that I think it hurts the left. The fact that an utter clown like Trump manages to get elected in USA, I think is a direct result of wokeism. Same goes for Brexit in the UK. And that a far right party, The Sweden Democrats, is the second largest political party in Sweden now. I blame woke.
Do you know who else has feelings? Children. But hundreds of them can't express those feelings because they got shot dead at school.
Where the fuck did that comment come from? How is that related to anything I have said, or even anything in this thread. Don't you think that it might be absurd statements like that which Charlie Kirk might have had top of mind when making that comment? If he in fact made that comment.
And if you are still confused I'll walk you through it. Everyone has strong feelings about children getting hurt. The image of a dead shot child is a strong visual. Everyone has empathy about that. Your statement (out of nowhere) is to connect it to the previous paragraph. You're trying to associate what I said previously to me arguing for children being murdered. Apart from not being true, it's incredibly manipulative. It's woke.
Congratulations on demonstrating why everyone should hate woke.
You have no idea what my stance is on gun control. Here's a hint, I'm on the left.
Conservatives are not good at trade-offs. They are mainly only good at doing what they want to do, often irrational ideas. They are very ideological. What do you mean by "a cost"? Is that a variant of "no pain, no gain" which they like applying to others, but not themselves.
If you mean economic cost, they are very poor at economic management, and incapable of foreseeing consequences.
Kirk meant what his words said, you don't have to and shouldn't interpret him.
Brexit in UK happened for several reasons, including the government not allowing time for debate prior to the referendum, and their spreading lies, plus the strange way their referendum voting works where a simple, narrow margin wins.
It wasn't "wokeism" but stupidity, complacence, and an out of date voting system that gave Trump the win.
Yeah, despite claiming to be a leftist and a liberal, you keep spouting the right-wing propaganda.
I myself am neither a leftist or liberal, yet can see the ignorance and ill-logic of the right-wing viewpoints.
You can't see a connection between the concept of empathy and the shooting of children, hence showing you yourself have no empathy, and then have the gall to repeat the false claim that everyone has empathy.
Typical right-wing tactic when someone has a different view to you to call them 'woke' with an intentional derogatory meaning attached to that word. Hating woke is also right-wing ideology.
As to your stance is on gun control, why don't you tell us, because based on your usual zeitgeist it is strong support for the current American interpretation of their Second Amendment.
Without examples of what you consider to be "fascist tendencies" your claims are fatuous (and almost tautologous).
