Had a bunch of conference calls at work today with various people who were all super nonchalant and business as usual while I was barely holding it together and honestly I kind of envied them
i had an argument earlier with my mother about how illegal immigrants should be handled. i believe they deserve to get the help they need. she thinks they should be deported and that theyre taking our resources, among other things.
she called me naive and said my beliefs are "twisted".
Over the past few years, I've often wondered what it feels like to be a right wing Podcaster who has no empathy or conscience. Does making all that money make up for not having a soul?
I've wondered the same. How can some of these people go home and face their families knowing they make money off of saying horrible things and lying and manipulating the public.
Yep. They're also so blinded by their own binary "red team/blue team" ideology that they don't understand the notion of wanting better than what we're offered. I fucking loathe Biden, personally. I loathe THEM. But I will still vote for them to have healthcare.
Articulated perfectly. I've been thinking about the migrants who came here to escape persecution, and now our govt will do the same. How do we not see our brothers and sisters in the world as just humans trying to survive? How can we not love them back? How do we not see ourselves in them?
I was thinking about that. But those people seem to be angry and scared and hateful most of the time, so it honestly seems to be more miserable than having empathy.
I had many of the same thoughts today. I wish I didn't care. I guess the flip side is that empathy means other peoples joy makes me happy too. Harder to see that today though.

"What has Biden done for you?"
Their whole existence is transactional. The idea of someone getting something to improve their lives that isn't them is an insult.
but yea, some days I wish I was a heartless person. I'd be doing better materially in life.
She said she didn’t raise me that way, it just happened
😃
Those without it fucking brag about it and should burn forever.
