"Lynch mob defenders." Rich coming from people who support arsonists, looters, thieves, murderers, and rioters and believe all those actions are justified because a worthless junkie and career criminal died crying like a bitch on the street in a time zone they don't even live in.
Fundamentally, the loudest support you are seeing is from cowards who are too afraid not to be seen participating in the lynching. A lynching is the highest form of a virtue signal.
It takes them just a second to pick a side. There is a fight between a vagrant and a law-abiding commuter, and they know who they will come up with excuses for, and who will get epithets. Immediately. Whereas normal people will identify with the law-abiding normal guy.
Again, it’s about who you have empathy with. You may later think about it, learn new facts, and change your opinion. But when you first learned about the death of Jordan Neeley, you immediately knew who you were rooting for, and who felt like a villain to you.
And if the person you immediately felt empathy for was Jordan Neeley, I am sorry to say, your brain is broken. A normal person’s first impulse—again, they may change their mind upon reflection, but their first impulse should be to empathize with the normal person.
Again, this is so revealing, because when you choose you pick a side. The point isn’t that it’s bad to have empathy for homeless vagrants. What is twisted, however, is to have empathy for someone like that AT THE EXPENSE OF a normal person.
It’s good to have empathy for a homeless person. But if you kick your children out of your house to house homeless people, you are a psychopath & should go to prison. Empathy for outsiders is fine, perhaps good even. Empathy for outsiders at the expense of your own is twisted.
You are not, in fact, having "empathy" for the vagrant. In fact, YOU ARE EXPERIENCING HATE. You are experiencing hate for the normal person. And your brain is tricking you, representing it as empathy for the other guy, so that you can keep telling yourself "I am a good person" … even though you just experienced hate for a totally normal person.
The tell that it’s not actually empathy is that their "empathy" always produced bad results for the targets of their tender mercies, and yet they never adjust their behavior: Jordan Neely was indeed failed by his government. As all parents know, enforcing limits is an act of love, and refusing to endorse limits can be an act of hate. He was on track to die of an overdose in a gutter, to the total indifference of every good soul now feigning outrage.
The highest value on the heatmap scale is 20 units for liberals, and 12 units for conservatives. Moral circle rings, from inner to outer, are described as follows: (1) all of your immediate family, (2) all of your extended family, (3) all of your closest friends, (4) all of your friends (including distant ones), (5) all of your acquaintances, (6) all people you have ever met, (7) all people in your country, (8) all people on your continent, (9) all people on all continents, (10) all mammals, (11) all amphibians, reptiles, mammals, fish, and birds, (12) all animals on earth including paramecia and amoebae, (13) all animals in the universe, including alien lifeforms, (14) all living things in the universe including plants and trees, (15) all natural things in the universe including inert entities such as rocks, (16) all things in existence
Holy shit. Libshits assign the highest value to this region:
(12) all animals on earth including paramecia and amoebae, (13) all animals in the universe, including alien lifeforms, (14) all living things in the universe including plants and trees, (15) all natural things in the universe including inert entities such as rocks
Leftists may claim that their activism is motivated by compassion or by moral principles, and moral principle does play a role for the leftist of the oversocialized type. But compassion and moral principle cannot be the main motives for leftist activism. Hostility is too prominent a component of leftist behavior; so is the drive for power. Moreover, much leftist behavior is not rationally calculated to be of benefit to the people whom the leftists claim to be trying to help. For example, if one believes that affirmative action is good for black people, does it make sense to demand affirmative action in hostile or dogmatic terms? Obviously it would be more productive to take a diplomatic and conciliatory approach that would make at least verbal and symbolic concessions to white people who think that affirmative action discriminates against them. But leftist activists do not take such an approach because it would not satisfy their emotional needs. Helping black people is not their real goal. Instead, race problems serve as an excuse for them to express their own hostility and frustrated need for power. In doing so they actually harm black people, because the activists’ hostile attitude toward the white majority tends to intensify race hatred.
— Professor Theodore Kaczynski, PhD, 1967 winner of the Sumner B. Myers Prize for Michigan's best mathematics dissertation of the year
Random background information:
In his second year at Harvard, Kaczynski participated in a study described by author Alston Chase as a "purposely brutalizing psychological experiment" led by Harvard psychologist Henry Murray. Subjects were told they would debate personal philosophy with a fellow student and were asked to write essays detailing their personal beliefs and aspirations. The essays were given to an anonymous individual who would confront and belittle the subject in what Murray himself called "vehement, sweeping, and personally abusive" attacks, using the content of the essays as ammunition. Electrodes monitored the subject's physiological reactions. These encounters were filmed, and subjects' expressions of anger and rage were later played back to them repeatedly. The experiment lasted three years, with someone verbally abusing and humiliating Kaczynski each week. Kaczynski spent 200 hours as part of the study.
During World War II, he left Harvard and worked as lieutenant colonel for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). James Miller, in charge of the selection of secret agents at the OSS during World War II, said the situation test was used by British War Officer Selection Board and OSS to assess potential agents.
20 points vs 12 points is the "heat" scale, i.e., the higher the redder, or how much people value the objects at that distance. Libs value rocks more than conservatives value family. The scale that goes from 1-16 is the "distance" from the center (1), which is "family", out to the outer edge (16), which is "all things in existence".
Saying I should be empathetic towards someone physically threatening me while they are having a mental health crisis, is no different then saying I should be empathetic towards the man who sexually assaults me because he's having a sexual emergency.
Hell the whole premise of "empathy would stop this" is wrong anyway. Having empathy toward them is no reason not to use force against them in this instance.
I can understand that the man is currently violent because he's desperate and suffering from poor health, both physical and mental, and still be willing to restrain him. Because I also have empathy for the rest of the train, myself included, and understand that none of them deserves to suffer violence and physical harm from him. If you have equal empathy for everyone balancing the needs of the people he's attacking against his own unfortunate circumstance it's still very easy to come to the conclusion of "sorry buddy, you need a nap".
People who act like they're more empathetic because they would do nothing are either very selective about who they have empathy for, or are trying to market their failings of being weak willed
and cowardly as the virtue of empathy.
Half of them are the same kind of people telling themselves it's just because they're kinder that impotently they let their family pet suffer and whimper through their final hours instead of making the difficult decision to soothe the inevitable.
Empathy doesn't do anything, it's just the Left's rhetorical tactic to try and change the target of people's frustration from the criminal class that are being used to support anachro-tyranny; and re-direct it towards institutions that the Left seeks to capture. Empathy, as a term, is simply used to try and trick the listener into associating whatever the Left is proposing as inherently good.
This is why, in my list of redefined words, I say:
When they say Empathy, they mean Enabling.
Now, (as is often the case) the Left set up a false dichotomy with an accurate criticism of a strawman; when they talk about the bad life that some of these people have led; and that there are institutional failures that are abundant. But they never accept that it is their institutions that have failed.
"We don't own anything"
As progressives you have sought collective ownership, and you have robbed people of investing in their own wealth.
"The cops are everywhere!"
You have required that the police operate beyond mere criminal law, and are now the arbiters of basic morality; and are the first people you go to to solve your problems because you've institutionalized your individual problems.
"The mental health system has failed"
Thanks to the Kennedy admin's take-over and """""reform""""" of the mental health industry. The state run asylum systems were closed. For the past 5 decades, mental health has been the domain of the political Left, and their entire focus is on prescribing drugs, and out-patient care. The purpose of the asylum systems was to allow mentally ill people to live a safe, guarded, and medically observed community that would do the least damage to both them and society. The primary goal of all current mental health facilities is to reduce costs by putting unwell people out onto the street, and holding sane people hostage to extract as much money as possible from their insurers.
We've never had more mental health facilities in the US than we do now, and the level of mental illness in the US has never been higher; and the highest rates are among Left-wing women. Not to mention, the entirety of both traditional and social media is to condition people to poor psychological health with catastrophization, emotional incontinence, and the normalization of narcissism.
In the end, Leftists are entirely structured around power relationships. Useful Idiots are cultivated to "love-bomb" factions that are proscribed to them by leadership; and to "hate-bomb" factions that are proscribed to them by leadership. Social Reinforcement is all that matters, so they will then be love-bombed for the correct interaction. There are no principles involved, and they do not care for one moment about anyone but themselves. They are telling themselves they are good people because people are telling them they are good people. Nothing else exists in that equation. They would gleefully beat a child to death with a pipe if Anderson Cooper told them it made them a hero. Why they are beating them to death is irrelevant.
Unfortunately chronic drug users just aren't very robust. Any action to restrain them from doing harm to themselves or others can apparently just yeet them to the afterlife.
This is the post that makes me unhirable if I ever get doxxed.
I don't know. I don't even know how to begin fixing this.
I'll admit I also don't have a plan for fixing the whole thing. But, in my case, it is because I can't see how having a culture where it is considered perfectly normal for individuals with 40+ convictions to go around shouting at people on public transit while the DAs think up ways to go after their political opponents is not just rotten to the core.
I feel like this describes the modern church as well. Refuse to interact in any way with your neighbors, besides maybe a lawsuit, but make sure the congregation's tithe gets sent to Africa.
There was never any intent to murder. Yet they call it that anyway. This was a person trying to do good and subduing a crazy man who could have easily harmed another passenger.
The felon struggled against three men. Not because he was an innocent bystander but because he was angry at having been caught doing wrong.
Being mentally unwell is no excuse either. If this was his first incident, maybe you can make that case. But he was arrested dozens of times, was clearly dangerous and unwell, yet released over and over again.
whereby people who act like psychopaths towards people who are close to them maintain their self-image as "good people" by performing over-the-top empathy to strangers.
No, they maintain their self- and public-image as 'good people' BY being psychopaths towards people who are close to them. That IS the virtue, according to their demented religion.
I don't know. I don't even know how to begin fixing this.
That's because you refuse to recognize that you are the one causing the problem. The fact that you completely ignore reality to create a narrative that pushes your agenda is proof of this.
"I have felt threatened by unwell people on public transit, I have been verbally abused, I have been masturbated at. But you know what I didn’t do to any of those people? Murder them."
First, citation needed. Second, you are a woman, and physical combat is not your thing. Third, be real with us and yourself, you probably got off on being abused and publicly humiliated.
Well fuck. That is embarrassing. I had never paid attention to that particular human, so I had no idea they were not what they claim to be. Thank you for pointing out my error.
That website of his is bizarre. All these weird photographs of him cosplaying shit while the description of him is this fluff piece comparing him to Oscar Wilde.
I’m actually going to just talk about the whole Contrapoints thing because people brought it up:
I honestly forgot Contra was MTF to be honest until I was linked a video by a friend a few weeks ago, because like Blaire White, if I saw Contra walking down the street and I didn’t already know who Contra was, I would have no reason to assume that Contra was born with a penis.
I know a lot more trans people than average, mainly because it’s simply a consequence of going to IRL tournaments for fighting games, and in my personal experience with them, it’s been fine, but maybe part of it is also since I have autism, and have been bullied for most of my life until I got to college and started competing, I simply treat most people how I wanna be treated and so end up calling them what they want to be called.
My experience however has actually made me a lot more aware of who is and who isn’t trans, but I tend to just ignore it because I thought a butch chick was trans once and I hated myself for it, so that “radar” goes on and off most of the time. I’ll make this a more active/detailed post at some point, I just generally tend to call most trans people what they say they wanna be called because of my prior experiences with bullying and such, plus I’ve been doing more research into the whole issue because it affects some of my friends and damn it’s just so damn complex.
I had to look Contrapoints up. Yes I can see what you mean. Blair White is clearly a dude though, especially when he speaks. Actually in the past I might have taken Blair for a real woman, but nowadays that caked-on makeup look is the tell-tale sign of tranny (bonus points if they wear a choker) and I just assume it's a MtF until proven otherwise.
You are free to call people whatever you want, but consider that people trying to make you (through social pressure) call them a title they demand - especially one not based in reality - is a form of bullying too. And like masking up for the flu, you will be normalizing a certain behavior among people around you.
The make-up thing, I’ve always been like “meh” when it comes to that point, because I can go look like 200-300 brunettes on Twitter or Instagram that have that sort of make up, look at their OnlyFans leaks, and see that they have vaginas, so I tend to not assume MtF just because of that sort of look.
And with the thing as a whole, god, I wouldn’t wish gender dysphoria on my worst enemy, considering how I see certain things with my friends, the whole situation is just a mess and I wish there was a better solution, and that we didn’t have this whole thing of people trying to transition children, but life is a dumpster fire.
Edit: Ended up watching a Blaire White video just because you mentioned that you believe even from Blaire’s voice that it’s clear that Blaire was born with a penis and I…Idk, I just don’t think that’s clear at all, especially with where Blaire’s from and lives, in Southern California. Maybe it’s the vocal fry shit, but I believe I could find people in Southern California born with vaginas who have voices similar to Blaire White.
I’m also using names repeatedly instead of pronouns because I just don’t wanna have a debate on it if I don’t have time, although I would openly call Blaire White and Contrapoints women IRL.
