I'm allowed an opinion, however, based on the evidence I have.
Lots of people on this forum, most in fact, regularly demonstrate noticeable empathy towards others. It's not like we as human beings can't tell when someone is being kind or when someone is being a selfish asshole. That doesn't really take a degree.
Or maybe it does, IDK. I mean, a lot of people seem to mistake Trumps monstrous behavior for some sort of down to earth honesty. I used to have a very positive outlook about people in general. My family jokingly called me Pollyanna, lol. I'm serious! Wow, has that changed.
Yes, a lot of people on this forum come here to socialize. I come here mostly to debate. I don't give a fuck if some poster's cat died. I do care that my real life neighbor just lost her father. Extrapolating from the tiny part of me that you see here in an artificial setting to what I'm like in real life is ludicrous.
