I fully agree that conversion to the right side of things is good, but god damn it’s hard consider it uplifting when they didn’t have to be selfish pricks to begin with, and the only reason they came around is because the person being treated like shit was a loved one. They would have gladly treated that person like shit if they were a stranger. I wouldn’t call that uplifting.
Let’s not let perfection stand in the way of progress
In this case it’s even worse, they’re not even looking to achieve perfection, they’re looking to change past reality, which as far as I know, isn’t an option until we come up with a time machine.
This is weird for me - you disagree with each other, but I very much agree with you both!
Yes, I find some republicans really annoying with their “I never thought it would be MY loved one that got mistreated” and “I just can’t understand why my republican friends haven’t realised that gun controls are a good idea like I did when my kids nearly got shot at school last month”.
But on the other hand, there’s hope that people can change their minds and suddenly see humanity where they were previously demonizing, turn around and start advocating for a bit more love and kindness in the world.
Exactly! I’m slinging out upvotes like Oprah.
Oh me too, me too.
