never said there aren’t terrible leftists. there are plenty. people in general are terrible.
statistically speaking, right wingers are worse. this is factual. don’t gaslight me.
i’m afraid of confrontation and i’m friendly enough that horrible people feel comfortably trauma-dumping on me, but they never feel comfortable changing.
i tend to be a pretty validating person and they love that. but the one time i call them out on something they need to do better, their defenses go up. no one is actually interested in being a good person, they just want to be told they’re a good person.
i’m disabled and i get assigned caregivers from a local agency. a caregiver casually told me she’s a pedophile (trump supporter too btw). people are too comfortable around me.
The fact that you sense “gaslighting” in casual conversation about reframing perspective for better material results tells me you have a ways to go before you should even attempt to throw yourself into an emotional cold-war confrontation with anyone who might see you as some kind of ideological opponent.
Seriously, this is out of left field for the tone of our convo so far, that I don’t think I want to reply anymore because there are a lot of things in life that are hard to hear or challenging, and if you can’t handle that in the mildest form without recoiling and fearing that you’re the one being manipulated, there is no CHANCE of you changing someone else. You have to have a LOT stronger self-worth.
