Better late than never! 🥳
Doesn’t give a shit until it personally impacts them.
Never complain about progress
One person isn’t progress when the rate of replacement is higher than rate of attrition.
It’s progress for that one person
Individuals are irrelevant.
Because you will assimilate them?
I’ve come to the conclusion that conservatives are just people whose sense of empathy is broken. Over and over I hear about conservatives who held bigoted beliefs and only changed their minds when confronted by someone they love becoming the target of other people’s identical bigoted beliefs. These people just can’t empathize enough to think “what if it was my child/spouse/friend?”
Low empathy AND low imagination
“Uplifting news” that once again hilights the absolutely infuriating conservative psychology of “I give absolutely zero fucks about this topic until and unless it affects me personally”.
I am glad the dude changed his ways, don’t get me wrong, but fuck me if it isn’t depressing to consider that this behavior pattern is absolute cancer, and really hard to work constructively with on a societal scale.
Technically we all may possess this, with some topic, somewhere in our lives
Conservatives just picked a bunch that fucking suck for others lol.
Like, I hate mayo. I bet someone really skilled could change my mind, but I’m not gonna fucking try. Fuck Mayo
conservatives on average have a higher disgust response and think themselves more exceptional than others.
I would say they do this more than non-conservatives because they are motivated by disgust rather than ideals or empathy.
Classic Conservative. All feelings of empathy begin and end at himself.
How is this uplifting news? Same old story, they hate until it effects them, then suddenly “things are different”. Yes this is slightly better than him always being a bigot, but honestly, f*** this guys lack of sympathy to start with.
A win is a win and you’re letting good be the enemy of perfect.
It’s always until it effects them personally.
What’s the saying? Better late than never?
