| How to Defeat Weaponized Empathy |
| 2017-02-01 |
| h/t Instapundit I’ve spoken at great length on the matter of Weaponized Empathy. It is the primary weapon of the modern Left. Indeed, it so completely dominates their tactical thinking that everything else in their arsenal pales in comparison. Defeating this weapon ought to be the foremost on the mind of any opponent of the Progressive Left. ...What is Weaponized Empathy? It is the deliberate hijacking of your own moral standards, your ability to empathize with your fellow man, in order to force you to serve someone else’s narrative. It is, in essence, a highly sophisticated form of guilt-tripping designed to turn you into a slave. |

| #4 Weaponized empathy is just a subset of weaponized language. Compare Noah Chomsky to Dr. Milton Erickson, for starters. |

| #3 Peer pressure from baby adults. Bucked that crap back in grade school. Four magic words: Not My Effn Problem. Funny timing deal. Wife and I were discussing child and sleepovers, or lack of. Wife replies, "Good. I don't want her liking everyone or everyone liking her. Some people are worth pissing off." Telling ya, got a little dusty there. |

| #2 Very good points but not really anything new to the regulars here on Rantburg. We have seen the 'Green Helmet Guy' trotting around the dead girl from photo-op to photo-op twirling his finger saying 'keep rolling'. Not to mention the selective reporting and outright lying in the media ("hands up dont' shoot!" comes to mind) in order to rouse the weak-minded rabble. |

| #1 It's quite a racket. Choose any field of human endeavor. There will be winners and losers. Side with the losers, declare your moral superiority and issue demands. Rinse and repeat. |
