We need to stop being the "Moral Police"
As someone who would proudly claim to be a leftist to anyone who might ask, we need to stop viewing the world and everything in it as black and white.
Because it's not.
I've seen, met and are friends with numerous people who are also leftists, and I'm not gonna lie, it's kind of concerning how dismissive most of us are and how we, who are "supposed" to be the empathetic ones, lack empathy as well. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are still a lot of people who would disagree with what I'm about to say, but I'm gonna say it now because nobody else will.
A lot of us are becoming exactly like Magats. Call it whatever you want, but this is real and very true. We might be wearing the opposite colors and holding completely different points of view, but we're becoming just as insufferable as they are. And what's worse, many of us aren't realizing this or are refusing to acknowledge it.
I've pondered this a lot. This didn't just come to me out of nowhere. I hate using this word, but really, some of us are becoming "too woke" to the point that we're becoming just as blind as the Magats are toward Trump.
I know how Magats are and how horrible they can be most of the time, but that's another topic for another time.
Also, this isn't in response to anything that has happened recently. This has been my observation for quite a while now.
I'm not saying this to provoke a reaction. I'm saying this because we REALLY need to be better.
I really want to go into detail about this topic, but I know it's gonna be futile anyway, so I'm not gonna do it.
But please! I'm begging everyone who can still think, we need to stop viewing the world as black and white. We're losing sight of the real enemy here. We NEED to do better. I know it seems like the people on the other side of this coin might be the enemy, but they're not. I assure you, they're really not.
