From my post #77:

“...These liberal leftists cannot abide with happy, industrious people who enjoy life in the greatest country this planet has...”

“Why is it the most liberal’s are always pissed off about something?”

This may seem like something from really far afield but I’ve begun to suspect that there’s a counterpoint to sociopathic individuals that has been largely ignored because many folks would, for example, see little sense in Lewis’ assertion that a tyrant who thinks he is doing good is a worse danger to society than one whose conscience might trouble him in any way.

It seems to me that this equal and opposite thing, which I’m just gonna call being socioempathic because it seems good enough, is a trait of people who only or at least persistently operate on the emotional level to the exclusion of Plato’s Reason.

Yes, Reason may be a slave master ... but unlike Passion it is a master one can choose. But a socioempath would not just be a slave to their Passion but to the suspected Passions of others as well.

As such they are easily offended by proxy, offended by what they imagine or have been taught is offensive to others. And they also may see that which stifles or denies or rejects the emotional whistfulness of others, say if they are gender confused, as an injustice of the highest order.

And, yes, I did bullshit today ... so no unemployment drachmas for me.
