''there are some really awful people I'm afraid, who completely lack empathy and are narcissistic and focus only on their own needs without a care for others.''

OK, you've made your point. I'll increase my voting output.

I hate to point this out but from that situation, the tormentors do care for others - the others in their self-assigned group.

It's a shame that things have culminated to that effect and that lady's business has gone to pot at the hands it would seem by people who feel threatened by her. I guess that they have decidedly lashed out at her to stamp out any progress she appears to have made. It appears they don't like the prospect of competition, so I would guess need to bring this lady to a comfortable level that they have chosen as her placing so they can feel more secure in themselves. Whether these tormentors are the primary factor in this lady's business venture failing is something I can't speculate on as I don't know the full situation.

One thing I do find with identity politics a lot of the time is that people seem to be pigeonholed as their condition, sexuality, identity etc first without considering the wider contexts of that person as a human being. There's detail but in one way depersonalisation as well. Btw, I understand in the context of revealing this information you were providing detail without obviously pinpointing who said individuals are in real life to respect privacy.

Yes, with identity politics etc these things are maybe a part of a person whether that person considers said identity to be a part of themselves and they have the right to chose whether they are identified as such or not.

It's funny how no identity politics were applied to the tormentors although I guess that they could be categorised similarly. I'm not being funny but I do find that when people refer to tormentors as such they usually gloss over detail - it's probably from one show of lack of empathy on their part another happens and the cycle continues. People usually shy away from negativity as survival instinct but it's still part of human nature.

I do find that folk can get defensive on both sides of the equation when it comes to identity politics, divisions rear their ugly head once more.

Making fun of who someone is can be a sign of respect. You're acknowledging some of their character traits and adding detail to their personality.

However if all you can do is stagnantly point out one thing again and again, that's when it becomes a dead label rather than someone who is complex, organic and most of all, alive!

Hey! Btw, increased voting output is nothing to do with altruism.

Knowing that I give out so many votes appeals to my narcissism. I also lack empathy which is why I don't expect anything in return, in the sense of me giving votes purely to get votes otherwise I'd empathise that as other people are getting a ton of votes then that means I deserve a load too.

"Life is sacred"

"...but don't some states have the death penalty?"

"Yes, but death row inmates made a choice"

"What you're saying is that women should give birth so their kids can then have the opportunity to grow up so they can then have the freedom to become child murderers in later life?"

"No, don't be silly. More children about doesn't mean there's more of a probability that there'd be more child murders"

The third triplet is taking the picture.

Very creative!

Disney are really cutting corners with their live action remakes.

Edited as phrasing was very similar to 12:00:10. Theme hasn't changed, but can revert to original version if you liked it better Paul W.

Love the name of the Tribe.

Ha ha, thanks Anon. Was tempted to go with "Cahunti-gathi" but thought there was already enough going on in the caption.
