Her post has gone viral, which is, of course, how I'm sharing it, which also pretty likely means this young woman now has an actual horde of right-wing extra-super-MAN-men sending her threats and harassment to somehow impossibly prove how wrong she is, so it's probably worth pointing out that the fundamental essence of right-wing ideology is bad problem-solving skills and a constitutional, relentless and even violent commitment to enforcing shitty hierarchies that CREATE most problems in society.

"Conservative" responses to problems are provably bad, ineffectual and, thus, problem-INFLAMING because conservative ideology absolutely insists you do. not. fucking. meaningfully. address. or even RECOGNIZE. the. problem.

Empathy is innate. It is how we learn things from our first breaths. It has to be DEconditioned and one function of right-wing political thought for 50 years in this fucking country - from Limbaugh to Fox News to splintered micromedia like Rogan and Tate - has been to decondition empathy in as many people as possible by selling them tribalism and faux-aggrievement at people daring to step outside of the hierarchal "natural order." This is INTRINSIC to the ideology and why it became an actual fascist movement.

@GrimmReality There is one exemption per the bylaws, wherein you are allowed to care for the well-being of your immediate family (given that they meet the requirements of the ideology.)

Unofficially, many also care for movements they are a part of, so long as, in their mind, identifying with such groups thus grants the groups the identity of the individual. ("Go Team" is ok, because "Team" = Me.")
