If you can find this imaginary comprehensive argument you mentioned I'd love to hear it but otherwise u r falling flat on your tits here miss
Fair. Feel free to disregard this. Your argument that in-group empathy isn't "true empathy" is similarly baseless however. -

There's a reason they get paid to interpret data, and you don't.
That study is referenced in your study. Just sayin'. And I don't think an absolutist "only liberals are empathetic, because no true empath is tribalistic" is supported by your study either. In-group preferences concerning empathy don't preclude a person from being empathetic (or even preclude them from being more driven by emotional/empathetic responses). -

We should also boycott Kingsford charcoal - formerly just "Ford Charcoal", and a byproduct of his racist manufacture of model Ts. Plus, charcoal is like super unenvironmentally friendly and stuff and global warming is like a totally serious issue.~

The entire premise of your post is speculative and baseless. What the fuck do I even disprove? There's nothing in your post that is proven. The foundation of your post relies on the idea that somehow Planned Parenthood is actively creating democrat voters, but from where? Converting republicans? Undecided voters? Any undecided voter who was planning on an abortion and decided not to go through with it but was still totally okay with the concept of abortion afterward was already leaning democrat. You're saying there are enough women who are being persuaded by abortion - specifically abortion - because it represents a general ideal like "women should have their own choice" that it not only counterbalances all the babies not being born (most of whom were probably going to be raised by democrats) but overcomes it. And you're saying this based on... nothing concrete and the hard evidence that "pregnant women get emotional lol". If we're being wildly speculative and basing this on "women do be emotional tho", the experience of considering an abortion and then deciding not to go through with it is liable to make a woman resent the fact that she was put in a position to even consider it in the first place and by extension come to resent democrats.
Yeah. Sorry. I'm not such a risk seeker that I feel I can make myself stupid enough to try and see how you think all that adds up. Like I said, I'm surprised you can even fucking breathe if you think that makes sense, or that it is reasonable enough for you to have this level of confidence in it (enough to tell me to "disprove it" line by line - holy fucking narcissism). -

I understand your need to defend your position even though it's unattainable.
If so many people have "comprehension" issues when it comes to the shit you say, maybe it's not them... maybe it's because you're an inscrutable moron who has an ego inversely proportional to the number of his sincerely held beliefs, who makes nonsensical arguments about minutiae because he's too mentally handicapped to meaningfully dispute anything substantive in an opponent's argument or to even remain consistent in his own arguments. -

Originally posted by MexicanMasterRace If you actually read it, this is addressed.
Conservatives are more protective of their fellow citizens than liberals. This is not the same as having empathy. Empathy is helping your neighbor, not trying to keep your neighbor out to protect yourself. Selective empathy is not empathy, it is tribalism. Even Hitler loved Germany, you know?
On the topic of tribalism and empathy, it's not so cut and dry. Liberals don't empathize well with conservatives, for instance. Are liberals still empathetic? Yes. In-group/out-group preference plays a role across the political spectrum (this is - allegedly, according to the abstract at least - corroborated by Hasson, Tamir, Brahms, Cohrs, & Halperin, 2018) - at best you can say liberals are more likely to be empathetic towards out-groups than conservatives, not that conservative empathy doesn't exist because it doesn't include [as many] outgroups. Liberals are less tribalistic, but they're still tribalistic. It's still selective. Not really interested in going down a research paper rabbithole here though, so I'm totally willing to concede that the study you posted in the OP represents the most up-to-date and accurate information on the subject (whether that be true or not).
What I'm mostly interested in is if this is the same study I was thinking of (that got it completely backwards at first). Or if it was a different study. Or if that study even exists and whether or not I'm going crazy. -
2020-06-29 at 4:11 PM UTC in Liberals have a higher IQ and EQ than conservativesI'm not disputing this because I can't find the source I'm thinking of and it may not even be disputable, but wasn't this study (or one very similar to it) completely flawed? Didn't it turn out that they punched in some numbers wrong or something, and it turned out that right wingers were more prone to empathetic/emotional decision making? Or was that the original conclusion and it was revised to this? Either way kind of makes intuitive sense (rightwing emotional/empathetic thinking is why they're so defensive about things like border control - they're trying to keep people safe from their point of view).
Anyone have any idea what the hell I'm talking about or am I completely off my shit? -

Much like the op you need to learn to communicate effectively.
Your fundamental inability to comprehend the is-ought dichotomy is as mildly amusing as it is pathetic.

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson A personal dilemma is just that…personal and privy to your personal choices/decisions…not the masses.
Abortion is a social dilemma…wholly different, and IS privy to the choices/decisions of the masses.
Again, the hypothetical dilemma only existed for the purpose of demonstrating the legibility of the question as originally posed by OP (a task which it clearly excelled at).
Kindly stop being a retard. Thanks. -

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson /snip…no it's not
It is a personal dilemma, hypothetically speaking. Not a far-reaching social dilemma, but again - the point wasn't the actual dilemma, merely the phraseology of the question (which was identical, and which you understood).
Stop being a fuckwit, fucktard. -

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson Non sequitur…you're an adult, make your own decisions rather than follow those of others.
2 consenting adults engaging in faggotry isn't the same social dilemma as ending a life.
The point is that it's a dilemma, and whether or not it is legal at present doesn't have any bearing on whether or not it should be (or will be in perpetuity). You're right that it isn't the same social dilemma though, so answer the fucking question instead of drooling on the keyboard pretending you didn't understand what it meant.
Fucktard. -
