Topic: Liberals and hyperactive empathy
I have found that there is a connection between liberals, and a hyperactive empathy and commitment to aesthetically pleasing "oughts." "We ought to cure the world of injustice and make it just and fair for everyone!", and "zomg animals are suffering."
As for conservatives, there are two breeds. These two breeds may also interlap with one another.
The first breed is the kind of conservative who wants to conserve political, social and/or religious values (though usually connected) on the population, in an atmosphere that is becoming increasingly sexual, violent and dependent on mommy (the government).
The second kind of conservative is the goal orientated pragmatist. These kind of conservatives could be Machiavellians, you never know. All they are concerned with is that society and the economy function efficiently, they are passive to injustice, knowing that justice is a facade to power, they believe that pragmatic concerns are above moral ones, and they are often committed to advancing their own interests of wealth and power.
Now I just wanted to say one more thing. I think liberals and the first kind of conservative is a sick kind of human being, while the second kind of conservative is a healthy human being.
Thoughts?
