[+] chitak166@lemmy.world -8 points 2 years ago (2 children) "You catch more flies with honey than vinegar." I've witnessed this first-hand. The vast majority of liberals are tribalists just like conservatives. They don't care to help others, just themselves and their tribe. I'm not going to argue anymore on this, because then I would be here forever. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] prole@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago* I have to wonder what your definition of "liberal" is. Because if we're talking about progressives, the entire ideology is based on helping others. Even center-left politicians do things to help others. permalink fedilink source parent [–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago They don't care to help others, just themselves and their tribe. It is clear from this that (1) you don't know any liberals, and (2) you fail at basic logical deductions. All you have to do to know whether liberals are altruistic or not is look at their policies. You'd see helping people all over them... but that would require you to open your eyes. I'm not going to argue anymore on this, because then I would be here forever. And this is what's holding you back. You've made a decision to be part of the problem. permalink fedilink source parent
