Most people just want a good life. If we stopped seeing each other as the enemies the world could be better.

    Ya, I’m not talking about extremists. I’m talking about just normal everyday people.

    • Exactly. So therefore ur side who contains its own extremists cant be all good can it. Therefore ur binary view us fundamentally flawed. The more u try and stick to it claim ur side is all righteous and the other side is all evil the the more u become the extremist u claim to denounce.

        Never said my side was righteous. I said that one of the main differences between the left and right is empathy. This isn’t an opinion, it’s peer reviewed fact.

        It’s bleeding obvious, even without the science.

            I’m not putting a value judgemental on empathy, I’m just restating that those on the left have more, and those on the right have less. (Which, again, just looking at behaviour, surprises nobody. )

            Though, too be fair, I do prefer to hang out with empathetic people.
