More On Empathy. in Whey and Sonic Screwdrivers.

I’m convinced that the issue with the right is a lack of empathy. The left gets called “bleeding heart liberals” because apparently they care about shit. …How exactly is that a bad thing?

Meanwhile, there’s a terrorist attack in Paris, and the right’s first response is LET’S REJECT THOSE REFUGEES!

Are you kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me? What world are we living in? You’ll go at lengths to talk about how some fetus is precious, but if it’s a five year old - well, FUCK THAT FIVE YEAR OLD.

I don’t understand these people.

I’ve traveled internationally. You have to have your shit together or they won’t let you into this country. Or out of, for that matter.

Ask yourself: If you were a member of a terrorist organization, would you flee?

Think about it.

Ahem. NO, YOU’D STAY INCOGNITO AND SUICIDE BOMB YOUR SUPPOSED ENEMIES.

This is how fearmongering works. They convince you that you have some sort of threat. You get scared and think of them as some sort of ENEMY. And then, while you cheer, your liberties are taken away.

Ahem. Fuck donald trump: (x)

Fear. Hatred. I admit I’m a Trekkie who has been watching a bit too much War of the Stars, but don’t give in the DARK SIDE. The right wants you to believe that there are BAD PEOPLE out to destroy you. If we start limiting our civil liberties, THE TERRORISTS WIN.

But, empathy. This was supposed to be about empathy. Imagine your homeland is engaged in a violent civil war. You flee. You try to go to the supposed most free nation in the world. They reject you. What would you do?

Rejecting refugees causes terrorism.

If we don’t stand for liberty and freedom, then what the fuck are we fighting for?
