Why are liberals always so nice? And why do they always expect the best of people? Is this their flaw?

 

I met a friend recently who actually thought that Joe Biden resigned, not because he was being chased and pushed to resign, but that he actually was a decent human being, and felt that it was the moral thing to do, due to his health (and let Kamala take over)!

That is simply ridiculous!  And I thought to myself how anyone could actually think like this? Sure enough, this friend of mine is a liberal and they naturally can't think like that.  They could only think the best of Biden; besides Biden being a career politician for the best part of 50 years, MUST be so self-less, and a person into public service.  My friend literally knows NOTHING about the American political process, and even LESS about just how corrupt the Biden Crime family are.

When I finally told them that Biden was pushed by his fellow Democrats, and that at one time, he had no intention whatsoever to resign, until apparently, Nancy Pelosi had to tell him that his own party would push for the 25th Amendment to be used; he looked shocked.  Honestly!  He was genuinely shocked!

But then they slowly realised that they were wrong and that we were correct with our explanations.  It was a very, strange experience.

At the same time, I appreciated their genuine "goodness".  This particular friend does not really have a mean bone in their body, but, in this case, I simply had to burst their bubble. 

Equally, I watch a lot of GB news; a "far right" TV network in the United Kingdom. 

It's not!  There are a good deal of leftists on the network, but it is then balanced with many from the right, or as I would label it, the Centre / Centre-Right.

On it there is a particular man called Josh Howie, who also suffers from this; I'm so nice type of syndrome - that I find that many from the left suffer from.

Time and time again over the past few years, he's always taken the side that people are good, that people are decent and all they need to do is listen to a certain logical argument and they will change their mind or come to a good, decent decision or viewpoint. And time and time again, he's proven wrong - and at times is exasperated by the Left's intolerance.

My point, that like above, when Howie has been confronted with the facts about things,  normally he changes his mind.  The below shows this:

He is still a Labour (reluctant) supporter, though he has admitted that his vote for them in the British 2024 Parliament election was a mistake.  

But once he saw -

1) Many of the Left are NOT into Free Speech!  (He is)

2) COVID hurt his family / children's education & the vaccines did little, if anything to help.

3) The economy was destroyed, as opposed to a country like Sweden.

4) How he was attacked / cancelled due to his classic liberal views.

And after the above were all proven true, and that we should NEVER have locked down, he changed his mind, and at times the last few years, loses it on his broadcasts.

Who knows, my point is maybe, just maybe, certain people on the Left DO look at facts / other opinions, and will come to a viewpoint that it more aligned to the right.

I don't know if I'll hold my breath though.

A simple question about dogs; How does a normal person answer it, as opposed to a Leftist freak?

 

I'm fascinated by the difference between us normal people, and the Leftist freaks in the world.

So much so, that I've always considered what would happen if a liberal or a right-winger saw a dog crossing the street and suddenly a car, turning into the street, ran over it—not a bicycle, but a car (Editor: You love them bikers!).  I love ALL people!

First, I KNOW this is a simple question.  I KNOW that there are multiple viewpoints.  I KNOW that the two views can be swapped here as well.  But, this is done only to generalise about two distinct groups.

I believe the reactions from either side highlight the differences between the two "sides". 

I'm not saying which side is correct, as in this case both may be partly right and wrong, but it does show how they think, feel, and perceive things.

A Conservative Perspective: A conservative might view it like this: the dog crosses the street, the car comes around the corner and accidentally hits it. From a neutral perspective, we might say that there was nothing the driver could have done—the dog is not human—and that we should pay our respects and move on with life.

A Leftist Perspective: On the other hand, the leftist would undoubtedly see it in a completely different manner. 

They would likely react emotionally, thinking, "How can this possibly happen in this day and age? How could a dog, something as sweet as Fido, suffer death and be taken from its owner?" 

They would question the driver's actions, saying, "What was wrong with the car driver? How dare they not take all due care and have compassion for the dog? How dare they make the turn?" and so on, ad nauseum.

They would express this with such intensity as if the driver was completely in the wrong, and anyone who questions them would be labelled a fascist, Nazi, or a Trump supporter. They would simply never consider that these accidents happen, that the car owner and driver likely took all reasonable care and respect for the dog, but did not see it until the last second, and that everyone should just get on with life.

They would NEVER react like this.  They would persuade themselves, and at the same time attempt to persuade anyone near them, that they were in the right.  And that the case was settled and that the dog and their owner(s) were the victims, ripe for some form of compensation.

My Explanation: To anyone who actually examines these two opinions or anyone with common sense, the first opinion is literally the only reasonable one. 

Yes, it explains the behaviour correctly.  Yes they (the driver) did not try to kill the dog.  Yes, these are accidents, and yes, please don't notify the police. 

But if you do wish to bring cops into this (the Leftist opinion), I thought you didn't like the police?

Therefore, I'd believe that the matter is over and done with.  If the dog is registered; contact the owner. If the owner was with the dog; have sympathies - there was no foul play. 

Just could everyone PLEASE accept this, and do NOT try to assign blame!

The case is closed.
