The Woke has weaponized compassion and turned Western Civilization’s highest virtue into an instrument of its own destruction.
The Woke has elevated compassion over both rationality and self-preservation to the point of pathological self-destruction. In the name of compassion large segments of Western society have become suicidal. Most of the Woke are simple Useful-Idiots that do not understand the consequences of their actions, but that does not diminish their threat to Western civilization. As Eric Bonhoffer said, “Stupidity is more dangerous than evil.”
Most of the Woke think that they are being altruistic, but there is no such thing as pure altruism! Natural Selection will not allow it! Any genes that code for pure altruistic behavior will be quickly removed from the gene pool by natural selection. Every apparent act of altruism is actually a calculated (possibly unconsciously) selfish attempt for an individual to improve their reproductive success. A showy, apparently altruistic act can benefit an individual’s reproductive success by any of a number of mechanisms, including but not limited to:
- Enhancing their social status by showy displays of “virtue”.
- Increasing their mating potential by displays of “virtue”.
- Increasing the likelihood of their being accepted into a preferred tribe by displays of conformity.
- Anticipating reciprocity for their display of “altruism”.
Don’t kid yourself, you are no saint.
You are as egotistical and self-serving as the rest of us.
You have just succeeded in deluding yourself.
In most arguments about the merits of the Woke agenda, the Woke will resort to claims of “compassion” to stifle dissent. As a response try one of the following:
Response
Don’t kid yourself!
You are a selfish large-brained, hairless ape just like every other human being.
We have all evolved from primates and, to use evolutionary jargon, our Ultimate goal is reproductive success, but we also have evolved Proximate goals that assist us in our Ultimate goal. Compassion is one of those Proximate goals. Compassion, when used in a healthy way, will increase our reproductive success by facilitating cooperation and reciprocity. But when compassion becomes pathological it can become suicidal.
Response
Bullshit!
What you are calling compassion is not compassion, it’s Suicidal Empathy!
Its Pathological Altruism!
It’s kindness to criminal invaders and indifference to the inheritance and well-being of your children and grandchildren.
You are giving your children’s future away!
Where is your compassion for them?
Response
I see!
You oppose the deportation of criminals because you are so compassionate!
Prove to me how compassionate you are.
Let some illegal immigrants live in your house.
Stop going on vacations and give your money to illegal immigrants.
Donate your car to an illegal immigrant.
In the absence of some significant, concrete action, your claim of compassion is hollow.
It appears to be indistinguishable from simple virtue signal.
It imposes not cost on you … although it will be costly for your children and grandchildren.
Response
Compassion my ass!
Your compassion is compassion for criminals and invaders, is not a healthy compassion, it is the functional equivalent of suicide.
Being complicit with and facilitating the collapse of Western Civilization is not compassion, it’s self-annihilation.
Where is your compassion for the inheritance of your children and your grandchildren?
Your so-called compassion will condemn them to a life of misery in a failed socialist state in which they will be discriminated against as a White minority.
Response
Compassion!
As if compassion, devoid of intelligence and sensible moderation is a workable principle.
Compassion devoid of self-interest and wisdom is a prescription for disaster.
Unrestrained compassion invites exploitation by cheaters, liars, and charlatans.
It is the last virtue of feckless individuals.
It is a prelude to civilizational collapse.
Response
Compassion wisely and appropriately exercised is a wonderful human trait.
All of the great religions celebrate compassion, but they also instruct that we must first be compassionate to ourselves.
Unrestrained compassion, like anything in excess, is not a virtue but transforms into a vice.
Unrestrained compassion is indistinguishable from self-immolation.
This is one example of how a civilization’s highest values can be turned into instruments of its own destruction.
Response
Compassion, Compassion, Compassion!
The Left has weaponized the word, and they use it like a cudgel to attack those who disagrees with them.
They use the word “compassion” in order to end reasoned debate, of which they are unable and unwilling in which to engage.
By claiming that they are compassionate they imply that their adversary is not compassionate.
This is a tactic designed to end a discussion rather than engage in an honest search for truth.
The “Compassion” of the left is Pathological!
The Left’s Compassion is Suicidal!
The Left’s Altruism is Pathological!
The Left’s Morality is Pathological!
The Left’s compassion is virtue signaling!
The Left’s compassion is performance art!
It is self-delusional theater that allows them to feel good about themselves and bask in false moral superiority.
The Left’s so-called compassion is superficial!
Real compassion requires a consideration of context, unintended consequences, knowledge, wisdom, and a thoughtful consideration of its impact on ALL effected parties, including oneself and one’s children.
The compassion of the Left is so selective that it hardly qualifies as true compassion.
- The Left’s so-called compassion is directed toward criminals, but no compassion is directed toward the victims of these criminals. For example, the Left protested the death of Renne Good, but the Left did not protest the murder of Laken Riley by an illegal alien. How is that anything but selective compassionate?
- The Left’s leniency toward un-repentant criminals is not compassionate, it is irresponsibility. It is indifference for the safety of law-abiding citizens.
- The Left professes compassion toward the illegal aliens who invaded our country, but where is the Left’s compassion for their children and their grandchildren and for the American taxpayers who are paying for the illegal aliens. By-the-way, the illegal aliens are not being sent to the gallows but are being sent home.
- There is nothing compassionate about ignoring the needs of disabled American veterans and of homeless Americans and diverting financial resources to the illegal aliens who have invaded our country.
- There is nothing compassionate about hiring illegal aliens who have invaded our country instead of hiring poor White and Black Americans who need jobs to feed their families. The illegal influx of migrants deprives Americans of jobs and keeps blue collar wages low. The influx of illegal aliens is a catastrophe for poor Americans! Is that compassion?
- There is nothing compassionate about well-to-do liberals blocking the roads in protest so that working people cannot get to work to feed their children.
- There is nothing compassionate about impoverishing poor people around the world so that the west can feel good about the fact that we have reduce our carbon admissions by 2% of 1%.
- Where is the compassion for people who have different opinions?
- Where is your compassion for me?
- Where is your compassion for taxpayers?
- Where is your compassion for Western culture?
- Where is you compassion for the solvency of the welfare system?
There is nothing compassionate about any of these things.
The compassion of the Left resembles an Aztec-like human sacrifice!
We are sacrificing ourselves (and Western Culture) to the false god of pathological empathy!
Compassion without law is not mercy! Its chaos!
Real compassion requires order, because only with order can we have peace.
The Woke have elevated faux empathy over rationality to the great detriment of Western civilization.
