I feel what defines more progressive, left leaning views is essentially empathy. The problem I see is that there's a lot of self proclaimed "liberals" that don't seem to have any, and just adhere to certain views in order to be able to judge others. It's more about "winning" than it is about actively or passively helping others. A lot of them excuse themselves in "I can't, I don't have enough money/time to give", not realizing the privilege that simply being able to post here implies, compared to most of the world. Worse, some even say "posting about this is a form of activism".

Why not just straight up use some of your time to actively help others? Because that's not the endgame. The endgame is feigning moral superiority.

Liberals, yes. Leftists, no. Liberals have become a parody of themselves.

A large chunk of them want to help the "poor" because they are the poor. It's more about money in their own pocket. Got a nice chuckle out of it when people started freaking out about Biden proposing a salary limit for loan forgiveness, and they would get left out.

It's certainly better than the poor rural Republicans voting to help the rich against their own self-interest, but it's still laughable considering how sanctimonious they are about it.

Kinda like how many of the "conservatives" that rail against gay rights and abortion, end up being closeted homosexuals or get caught paying off their mistresses to get abortions?

We live in a world of "do as I say, not as I do" politics. The quicker people realize it, the better off we will all be.

I topic proclaiming progressives are morally superior while judging another group is judging another group that they feel is "morally superior."

Oh the irony of this topic.

Why is it somehow less valid to want to help yourself and your economic class? Empathy is only valid when it's coming from above at the largesse of the well off and there's something wrong with wanting better for yourself and advocating for it? That's classist AF
