Have you considered that your absolutes may not be true?

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Have you or do you honestly think everyone is stupid enough to think deontology is an acceptable worldview?

Have you considered other people have different points of view than you do, that those views are valid even though you don't agree with them, and even worse, they might actually have good points?

Do you ever attempt to emphasize with anyone else or do you just fling around the word to accuse anyone you don't agree with of doing something wrong? I can understand how you feel. The way you view killing and death as absolutely unacceptable regardless of circumstance is the way I feel about literally everything else, especially the rape, torture and enslavement that you flagrantly defend and even exploit to throw your opponents off-guard and manipulate them into surrendering to your woefully misguided and quite frankly, evil worldview. I can put myself in your shoes and feel the way you feel about it.

Why can't you do that for anyone else? Why does everyone else have to capitulate to you but you don't owe anyone even the slightest bit of understanding?

  1. I think this is a non question

  2. Yes

  3. Did you mean empathize? If so, I hope yes.

  4. I don't think anyone needs to do that. I don't know who you're talking about.
