"moral superiority and the continuous willingness to correct the other's behaviour"

it is tangible practical moral superiority coming from the protection and support of civil rights and liberty.

rather than taking away employee rights, the left is giving employees rights.

rather than taking away minority rights, the left is legally protecting minority rights.

those are not imaginary feelings, those are practical and effective policies.

"The smug feeling of moral superiority and the continuous willingness to correct the other's behaviour is THE reason why people can't stand "left/wokism/whatever". Continously pointing out on fake "offensive words" just to show off how morally superior they are. "

this is largely your imagination and pointed conservative media and a poor excuse for selfish people to continue abusing vulnerable people for their own gain.

offensive words are not fake, and there's nothing wrong with being considerate toward everyone.

the fact that you don't understand haven't considered the difference between protected civil liberties and imaginary fake word hunts from the left (that are actually perpetrated by conservatives banning books from libraries) demonstrates exactly how successful the conservative media you consume is.

consider what you're saying, consider the information around you.

anybody accusing the left of instigating moral panics while the right is literally banning books in libraries over words that they don't like or understand clearly doesn't have even the most tenuous comprehension of what is really happening.

Good, that's not what I am talking about

rather than taking away minority rights, the left is legally protecting minority rights.

Good, that's not what i am talking about neither

. those are practical and effective policies.

Cool I agree!

this is largely your imagination and pointed conservative media and a poor excuse for selfish people to continue abusing vulnerable people for their own gain.

Oh wait, so telling someone "your fears/points you makes, it's just your imagination" is a valid argument now? lol

the fact that you don’t understand haven’t considered the difference between protected civil liberties and imaginary fake word hunts ... the conservative media you consume is.

Well you didn't even bother to check if we are talking about the same points. Good on you I guess. You also somehow deduced I consume conservative medias, that's some skill!

consider what you’re saying, consider the information around you.

Consider what you are saying, consider the information about you.

... right is literally banning books in libraries over words...

Banning books is dumb, I don't know what makes you say I d support it. It never occured to me to ban a book, and I am not planning or supporting anyone who does.

Again 95% of your comment is completely beside the point, because you somehow assumed my view points without ever considering I actually have similar views, I just don't subscribe to every other random bullshit "the left" (whatever that means, because I don't consider myself "right" neither) does.

nobody's throwing you in jail for being the public bigot you aspire to. use all the slurs you want.

people are, however, murdering trans people and banning books. in the real world.

have fun cradling your make believies.
