She's one of those non people. What I mean by that is that there isn't a personality in her so much as just naked ambition and want which leads to doing and saying anything to "get ahead". Do that long enough and you lose yourself along the way. Too many lies, too many crazy actions. She's the same as Santos. Black hole people.
Oh god, the smiles in that video still haunt me
Times are gone
For honest men
Sometimes, far too long for snakes
Why are all republicans such nasty people?
It's their only core value.
Because capitalism does not incentivize empathy.
You're link doesn't support your point at all. In fact it seems to contradict it because it says the problem won't be solved by good corporate leadership.
It doesn't seem to offer up any cause, discusses how hard it is to address, and then gives some things individuals can do to increase their own empathy.
This is surprising that it's getting up votes because my experience on lemmy is that things like these are the fault of companies and capitalists, and any suggestion that individuals are part of the problem and can do something to improve the situation is met with anger and denial.
You find the statement " capitalism does not incentivize empathy" to be in contradiction with "the problem will not be solved by good corporate leadership"?
Dude. What are you smoking??? I need some, like, for real...
Maybe not, but the more important thing is that the link doesn't support the claim at all. Not surprising that you are nit-picking my point, but not calling out the top level comment for deceptively using a citation that doesn't support their claim.
Nah, I'm not nitpicking so much as outright rejecting.
Whatever
Avoiding the actual point. Well done.
Companies and capitalists are all individuals. Perhaps I’m wrong, or, perhaps Adorno was correct when he said, “wrong life cannot be lived rightly”..
What does this have to do with your original citation not supporting your claim at all? Without a specific explanation as to why this explains it, it just reeks of moving the goal-posts.
How can I move the goalposts, when I’m not playing the game. I stated, “perhaps, I’m wrong.” 😑
Edit: There’s a reason newspapers, magazines and cable news networks don’t mention that capitalism is the cause of homelessness, wealth inequality, healthcare debt, etc. That’s a big no-no, and can cause funding to be removed and flak from management. The system censors and filters criticism of itself.
Also: I’m definitely wrong.
Coming back to this, it's because they want strength. Aka a strongman leader. That's what they respect, so they assume that's what everyone else respects too.
They want "order".
It's a good thing LYING is NOT against the Bible!
I just don't get how evangelicals can support people like this. Once upon a time, it was career suicide if a republican politician wasn't seen going to church on Sundays. Now they get kicked out of theaters for groping their date, cheat on their spouse with a porn star, get caught in lies almost daily, and the Christian right says god chose them to run the country.
Because those things were never disqualifiers for them. Newt Gingrich divorced his wife for having cancer. Reagan was a California divorcee. Going to church is a statement of allegiance, and that’s what they’re concerned with
I think it's most important for the candidate to hate the same things they hate.
The lie notwithstanding, it’s also rude to the little children!
Right!?
Seems like she projects all her own toxic thoughts on children, dogs and goats.
She’s a brilliant candidate for the woodchipper.
What kind of children's pastor brags about "staring down" her charges, or calls them tyrants?
One who is a control freak that lacks empathy?
If their goal is to get eaten up, I’m sure we can find some cannibals, somewhere.
Just saying. Everybody indulges in junk food occasionally…
At least we know she's smart on foreign policy: Send in the children's pastors! Bet they could bring peace to the Middle East, even after Jared Kushner's valiant attempt
