This is something my grandma would post to her knitting group and it would get one comment that says, “Like” because Herald doesn’t know how to like posts.

Sharing is literally communism.

Liberal indoctrination right there

We raise our children to treat people the way they want to be treated and to share their toys with others.

That doesn't happen as adults though. Everyone has their own things and we need to be skeptical of certain people.

I don't force my children to share with others and our main rule is to not hurt your family.

Huh. I raised my children to treat people the way they want to be treated and to share their toys with others. As teens and adults they've tended to cultivate friend groups of supportive, welcoming people. I consider them extended family, and if someone has a need we should be available to help.

The people they're skeptical of are the "I've got mine, fuck you" types.

"Certain people" huh? Interesting.

People with nefarious intent.

Ah I wonder what indicators you use when you first meet people to immediately judge if they are worthy or not. What subtle deep in your mind factors decide if someone deserves it.

ITT A bunch of you think you're dunking on a dog-whistle blowing racist

I guess no one here has ever met someone whom they gave the benefit of the doubt that ended up being the wrong read.

When did they say they judge them at face value? You know it's possible for people to be skeptical after talking with them for a few minutes and assessing them based on who they are?

If you're well-attuned to social interaction you can sniff out con men within minutes, they give off the same weird vibes that religious nutter butters do when trying to convert you, or MLM/Pyramid scammers when trying to recruit you.

Thank you.

It's interesting how my detractors are making the definition of skepticism = "immediately judge someone."

[–] Unanimous_anonymous@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

I think the defining difference is whether that sharing extends to just friends and family, or if it becomes more egalitarian and extends to everyone. From my experience, Republicans tend to stop at the former, and Democrats tend to stop at the latter. There is also usually differences in what they're willing to share to both parties, namely money.
