    based and i adore people who are like you

    it does tend to be a good litmus test for disempathy, sadly. obviously there are outliers, but if one can’t take a tiny correction to like 0.01% of their vocabulary, color me not surprised when that same person starts talking about the immigrant problem or women’s place in the home or something :(

      My guy still thinks bigotry is caused by lack of empathy. It’s actually selective empathy that helps encourage bigots.
