    You think the solution is for the people who already want equality for all to somehow become even kinder? Being liberal is already the logical consequence of basic kindness. Kindness results in altruism, which results in social awareness and liberal activism.

    This conservative assumption that everyone showing altruism must be a false actor is indicative of some significant mental illness.

      “You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.” I’ve witnessed this first-hand.

      The vast majority of liberals are tribalists just like conservatives. They don’t care to help others, just themselves and their tribe.

      I’m not going to argue anymore on this, because then I would be here forever.

        I have to wonder what your definition of “liberal” is. Because if we’re talking about progressives, the entire ideology is based on helping others. Even center-left politicians do things to help others.

        It is clear from this that (1) you don’t know any liberals, and (2) you fail at basic logical deductions. All you have to do to know whether liberals are altruistic or not is look at their policies. You’d see helping people all over them… but that would require you to open your eyes.

        And this is what’s holding you back. You’ve made a decision to be part of the problem.
