@NSANiTYx Just a sheer refusal to acknowledge or understand empathy at all. It makes sense I guess. You have to rationalize the made-up mob in your mind somehow. In this case apparently you can read minds to know that every apology is actually coerced by the scary leftists.
@NSANiTYx I genuinely don't know.
Funny to me that you still just can't comprehend that someone would make an apology because they felt bad and wanted to correct themselves. Nope, it's all forced by "the left". Even though I pointed out an example of right-wingers doing it.
@NSANiTYx Themselves. I don't know why you keep insisting that this is coerced.
It's a mistake because let's say you learned that someone you liked online made comments you felt are wrong. If you supported them, you might want to go out now and be clear that you don't support X message.
@NSANiTYx Dude I already explained how people have empathy. You call it a "performative apology", I call it "someone wanting to correct a mistake they feel they have made".
@NSANiTYx Wow, what a defeatist attitude. It doesn't have to be like this, you know. Better things can exist. Maybe if we didn't have a completely xenophobic administration that was okay with killing citizens in their pursuit of oppressing minorites. But that's a whole other discussion.
@NSANiTYx Like my whole thing here was trying to explain why people might want to publicly apologize for something. Empathy and all that. You and OP seem to be a lot more concerned with leftist labels and needing to apologize to the mob or whatever. I'm pointing out how you might be wrong.
@NSANiTYx "What an odd thing to say" Hey I mean I'm not the one downplaying federal officers killing people in broad daylight. Make excuses all day dude.
I don't really know what to tell you for the whatever labels. It's subjective. You'll probably always think it's stupid. So do I.
@NSANiTYx Well thanks for proving my point. It's all subjective. You just think it's silly to speak out for leftist positions. Meanwhile here you are defending government sanctioned fatalities because "people mess up". A lot of right-wingers apologized for accidentally supporting that.
@NSANiTYx Because nuance exists and people usually have different values than agreeing with everything someone says (hey like MAGA). If someone feels strongly about something and thinks it's wrong i.e. to support overseas wars then yeah they probably want to retract any percieved support.
@NSANiTYx Right, it's all subjective. I'm willing to bet you disagree with stuff like increasing support for social programs and don't want to associate people who talk about it. Same for things like ICE murdering US citizens or being okay with funding other countries wars.
@BelmontAzreal Same to you bud. I'm always here if you want to have an actual discussion instead of acting like a 14-yo who figured out social media for the first time.
@NSANiTYx Sure, I agree it's pretty pedantic sometimes.
It's just all subjective though. No one is "forcing" you to apologize for anything. If you feel that way then maybe get off Twitter for awhile and spend some time in the real world.
@RosiePinkVixen Not this silly generalization of "Oh man I would hate to be 'left-wing' because that would be exhausting", like that has anything to do with real-word outcomes or policies anyway. More culture war nonsense instead of actual issues.
@RosiePinkVixen You're so close to self-awareness. It's a good thing that someone can reflect on their principles and take accountability. Isn't that what right-wingers shout all the time? "Personal accountability"? It's being consistent with your principles.
@SwitchAtoll@KalebO98164@Captain_Fubar It doesn't help, you're just a fake blue checkmark defending government sanctioned murder behind "immigrant bad". Laziest fucking excuse at this point lol, get some new material
