    I’ve been saying this over and over. The right is talking to young men, while the left has been telling them that they’re evil, or ignoring them entirely.

      Sometimes it seems like empathy is at an all time low, overall. I consider myself to be extremely left leaning and in my interactions with likeminded individuals, I find that they often fail to address people as people and instead of treating them as some category of social status / power dynamic.

      If you want to convince people that you’re the good guys, you need to start by meeting them at their level. Being hostile is not a great way to do that.
