A different school laid off GB as a cost-cutting measure: they no longer wanted to pay for a second counselor to counsel the students who got counseled by GB.GBear4Life said:
No way. Those 5th graders were far more reasonable and open to other perspectives than BI.
They were also too young and ignorant to know about or care to virtue signal to impress themselves or peers.

Right on cue. A bunch of deluded self righteous pr*cks in an echo chamber of their own making using crying children they don't care about to illogically advance their political narratives. Exploiting that playbook with trite calls to compassion and empathy.
Found a relevant article and wanted to follow up. Lots of interesting points but these two I think are the most applicable:Unit2Sucks said:
I don't think it's fair to say conservatives lack empathy. They clearly have empathy for corporations and white people. Seriously though, there have been a lot of studies about personality traits and politics so should be easy to see if empathy is one of the factors.
Quote:
Liberals and conservatives extend feelings of compassion to different people.
New research shows that conservatives tend to express compassion to smaller social circles than liberals.
For example, conservative voters were found to be more likely to agree with statements like: "I often have tender, concerned feelings for my family members who are less fortunate than me."
But their responses suggested such feelings did not extend to people from other countries.
Liberals, on the other hand, were more likely to feel that same level of compassion for people around the world, and even to non-human and imaginary subjects like animals and aliens.
Quote:
Liberals are more likely to describe themselves as compassionate and optimistic, while conservatives are more likely to say they're people of honor and religion.
A 1980 study of US high school students found that conservative students at that time were more likely to describe themselves as "responsible," "organized," "successful," and "ambitious," while liberal students might describe themselves as "loving," "tender," or "mellow."
Surveys suggest that today's adults aren't much different than those 80s kids. A Pew Research Center study from 2014 showed that liberals were more likely than social conservatives to describe themselves as compassionate, trusting, upbeat, and optimistic, while conservatives were more likely to say they were people of honor, duty, religion, and proud to be American.
The self-reports go along with research from 2012 that suggested liberals' top moral concerns tend to be about compassion and fairness, while conservatives are more concerned with loyalty, tradition, respect for authority, and purity.

This definitely explains why conservatives always assume liberals are lying when they talk about having compassion for people they don't personally know, or that they are just doing it for their own personal gain. It's because they can't imagine anyone would think differently from how they do.Unit2Sucks said:Found a relevant article and wanted to follow up.

- I CATEGORICALLY DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT. IT'S UNTRUE AND BEYOND HYPERBOLIC TO MAKE THAT ASSERTION.
Thank you
- YOU'RE WELCOME
(But you still don't know what identity politics is. I acknowledge I do not know what dirty snowflake syndrome is. If I did, I could comment on whether it is a bigger threat or not)

And if Biden, the only guy who can beat him gets the nomination, tRump will have his crew Epstein him.

How have you guys not put GB4Sterilization (as someone else - Bearister - called him) on ignore? One of the issues with this site is that ignore doesn't block an ignored person's text when quoted. So when y'all quote him it defeats the ignore function.
The quality of conversation will be better without him.

I do not believe that Biden is the only person that can beat Trump. That's a narrative being propagated by many of the same geniuses that said that there was no way that Trump would win the first time around.
I'm curious why these moms and pops that would vote for Biden but didn't vote for HRC in 2016.bearister said:
I hope you are right. Please talk me off the ledge by giving me scenarios where a Progressive gets enough votes from mom an pop in the flyovers that hold the key to the Electoral College.
