The amount of people who are all giving “reasons” why they are gonna be ok to treat others with contempt and apathy towards any suffering just means you wanted an excuse to not care all along, not that you are morally superior.

You will still look like an asshole to anyone that isn’t informed and to the people who didn’t agree with you in the first place.

If you actually care you keep trying, stop pretending minute crusades are anything but.

    Yeah that schadenfreude and specifically that quote of saying specifically about voting. That smug apathy where you giggle at other people’s misfortune because they might have had it coming is the one that horrified me and I think is the unpopular opinion I have.

    No. That’s gross. It makes you seem dishonest.

    If a person gets pushback and punishment for what they have done that’s fine but people just living a life where they generally get hurt and it’s excused away as a location or ideology that makes it ok to point and giggle? An actual after the fact giggle is fine but this is searching for it and self serving. I just think it paints people ugly.

      Ah, got it, I misunderstood what you were saying initially, I think.

      I certainly don’t giggle at other peoples’ misfortune… but in the voting instance, I certainly don’t feel bad for them.
