I understand your ideas about considering harmful systems not people the enemy, but I’m a little confused how you would apply that to people actively creating and enforcing the harmful systems. Because harmful systems fall apart if people don’t enforce them and there are people in power actively trying to enforce those harmful systems, that’s why they are there. It’s easy for me to understand that people who have different or harmful views and have fallen for right wing propaganda, but what about the people making that propaganda? Systems are just nebulous ideas without people upholding them so if you seek to dismantle system don’t you also have to oppose those in power seeking to do harm. Sorry to word vomit. <3

I totally agree but it definitely stems from trauma. When you are exposed to true toxicity (predatory humans) you see that nothing you do will ever change them. No argument, no empathy, no emotional display, nothing. Understanding their behavior hasn’t been helpful for me personally and there is a fine line between empathy/compassion and wishing for something that will never happen. There are truly malevolent people in this world who enjoy the chaos. But also this is not everyone on the right lol even most on the right so I agree with you.

I might need some help, because I'm definitely the "bludgeon them with facts and hopefully they'll see" kinda presence, though that definitely feels like digging at cement with a plastic spoon most times. I exist at the back end of my own logic trails and call the turns I've taken out to those still working on getting to where I am, but generally everyone I disagree with has started at a different trailhead and don't have any real way of getting over to where we are from where they started. For example, nobody in human history has ever asked to be born, we just each arrive in the middle of our own generational relay race, we partially have the choice to pick up the torch of one of our family members or we can pick up someone else's (think research) and continue their work instead. One of the many problems with this is that we have 0 input into who we're raised by, who they know, what resources they have, what work they've done personally to understand the universe we're all thrown into, whether they've embraced or moved past their initial ego and all the associated things that come with either, what our genetic predispositions are, what our regional cultures are, etc.. Based on those grounds, it makes a ton of sense to me for equity and socialism to be the foundations of society, because we all start in different places with different upbringings from different people, so meeting people where they're at in an effort to get us all on the same page, or at least having diverse resources and programming available to accomodate the individual journeys toward a common understanding. Theoretically science is that thing, but the ill will of so many different interests in our collective past have ruined a lot of it and I can't find compassion for the people that have drank the kool-aid anymore, anyone that says "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" unironically, becomes less than dirt in my eyes because oftentimes they're old enough that being in that headspace is a choice, and they've chosen to shit all over the future generations ability to exist, whether through ignorance or just being subhumanly evil. Is it worth trying to fix individuals over thousands of futures?

Any time there is a binary there is competition. Instead of solving problems most people want you to pick a side and join the war. war doesn't fix things and we all know this yet our entire system is about defending sides. yet we believe politicians will save us?

This is exactly why classical philosophy is important, it’s meant to give students the critical thinking skills necessary to not fall into “group think”. (love your content!😁)

Fu Q :
All of the population have emotional regulation challenges of varying degrees. I would speculate that we hold others to higher standards and project that onto them because we are unaware of how underdeveloped our own hardware is. The Right’s approach to resolving this issue centers on maintaining their regulated state longer and on more stable ground than their opponents, the left. It’s a game of who can make the other dis regulated while yourself staying regulated. This requires training and practice which is why they have structure of Church and other systems.
