My God I hate these lame inspirational quote memes that appeal to mindless people (which is why they get so many likes). Neither opinions or empathy are forms of knowledge. Opinions are a view of something, that could be based on knowledge or not. Empathy is the ability to understand others’ feelings, but isn’t itself knowledge. Then, of course, this quote is an opinion about how opinions suck, which ultimately shits on its own point.
The whole meme is a nonsensical word salad, presented as enlightenment to unthinking people. Which means 146K👍 on fb
Just incredible. After posting a meme blaming Charlie Kirk for his own murder, they post another a few hours later applauding Democrats for their civility.
Also, if you look at the Occupy Democrats timeline, their posts “denouncing political violence” were variations on “no one should be shot…BUT here’s a quote from Kirk showing he’s a terrible person.” Or sometimes they’d leave the first part out altogether and just attack him. There are no posts denouncing violence without qualifiers trying to gin up their base.
It’s really incredible they’re trying this approach after 4 years of posting “Ridin’ with Biden” memes.
It’s funny to see the left use the same conspiratorial rhetoric as the right did a year ago regarding the jobs numbers being downwardly revised. So many on the right, who knew nothing of how the jobs numbers are calculated or why they revise them, were convinced the downward revisions were a conspiracy to help Biden win.
If people want to have a debate about the birth death model or the survey methods, ok, but that’s not what’s happening here. Most people are under the delusion that the BLS report is the govt reporting every job created and lost, and are thus easily swayed it’s rigged when it suits their political ends.
