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.
