I've noticed that conservatives cant feel empathy. They only feel sympathy. This is why they don't understand any injustice until if effects them personally. This is the root psychological reasoning behind the leopards eating faces memes.

The richest man in the world, who has only ONCE paid anything approaching a 20% tax rate and crowed like he was a PHILANTHROPIST when he did, is removing all social programs that are a safety net for the poorest and most desperate among us.

Empathy? Sympathy? They are vampires.

I prefer to call them Ghouls.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 6 points 1 year ago

Completely unrelated, I had a character for Age of Sigmar's Soulbound (TTRPG). I played a ghoul named Jeff Bezos and I doubled down on the ghoul madness.

I'm just waiting to bring back Jeff with his now 2 imaginary friends, Musky and Zucky.

Stop censoring these people's names and faces. They said it. They said it out loud and proud, in front of god and everyone. Why are we afraid to show them?!

"We're happier than libruls"

Must be the whole "Ignorance is bliss" as well

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure that they are "happier" is not a factual statement.

[–] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 year ago

Was going to say, most that I know seem pretty miserable and looking for someone to blame or hate

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

Like a cop beating up a suspect they're... happy.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 50 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

ahh yes family values like bailing Andrew Tate out.

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not to mention worshipping a thrice-married sexual predator

Well, they do say ignorance is bliss.

[–] Escew@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

They must be euphoric.

If conservatives were happy they wouldn't act the way they do.

[–] CrowAirbrush@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have a conservative friend who will start screaming like a little girl when a cyclist is doing nothing other than just using the bikelane that happens to come into an intersection with the road he's on.

Such happy people, amazing.

Why are you friends with douchebags? I'm not trying to be snarky, I am genuinely interested

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have a douchebag friend. We have a lot in common. We're both like playing pinball. We both get migraines, and we both have chronic pain. Both have families that we love a lot. We're both older and retired. I genuinely like him.

He posts a lot of shit on Facebook "owning" liberals. I don't think it suits him, but I think he's caught up in the moment, and I think his pain and migraines get to him a bit.

I believe he's too good a man to stay on this track, and I'm going to be there when he realizes it. And I'll give him a hug and tell him I understand.

My sister has a childhood best friend that she had been through everything with, including him coming out as gay, and in her 50s her friend started supporting Trump. Again, I don't think it suits him, he's a sweet guy, but she just quit a relationship of 40 years because of that.

We gotta look inside people. They have s lot of reasons for what they do.

Tell him we hate him too

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Lack of empathy and utterly selfish. It enables these trash humans to take others rights and believe the lie that doing it is a good thing.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 year ago

Privilege. Especially white privilege. It's easier to be happy when you're benefiting from the invisible suffering of others.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He does stand up. He's pretty funny. I like when he heckles back at hecklers.

The funny part is that he’s known as a heckle comedian but has publicly stated that he hates hecklers. He’s only known as a heckle comedian because he has zero qualms about tearing them down as soon as they try. His comebacks are usually pretty brutal because he just wants to end the heckling and keep his set moving.

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are they happier? Because they sure do complain a lot and get enraged over the simplest of issues.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

get enraged over the simplest of issues.

Those issues are not even real most of the time and they're still raging mad. 😂

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

More like blissfully ignorant. My experience with conservatives is that they like to sweep problems under the rug and pretend everything to be fine.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I realized it's very much this when I asked my mother (born in 1961) if she had never taken a civics class, and she answered no. She actually believed(s?) the president creates laws. I don't know what she thought congress was.

"Fuck you, got mine " exemplified .

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago (6 children)

He's so funny, he does it for work! He's an excellent comedian, one who doesn't invite hecklers but will destroy them.

He's smart because he's educated. He's also a sharp wit but he just generally knows a lot of shit.

Sadly, his tour stop near me is too far away so I can't go.

Ignorance is bliss, and to persist with conservatism requires embracing an ever expanding level of wilful ignorance.

Love Steve. Been following him for years.

[–] the_q@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Stupid people tend to be happier, yes it's true.

[–] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Conservatives are racist nazis that have the IQ of an inbred redneck

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I'm a redneck. Not inbred more than normal, as far as I know. I think I'm purty smart sometimes. Since you and I are 50th cousins, at worst, you've got some redneck in you.

Don't be like the fascists. Don't get lazy in your thinking. Our antagonists are human, some are very intelligent.

To defeat their ideology, we must view them accurately. Otherwise, how will we anticipate what they will do?
