mapping personality traits on to political views is research being conducted extensively in the personality psychology field. not only are they collecting data independently , but you can google big 5 personality test and take a basic one online. guess what happens after youre done the test? yes they give you the results but before that, they also ask you to answer some brief political questions before they provide results. millions of data points are being collected with various methods. im assuming you are asking me out of curiosity vs just hopelessly tying to confirm you are right about everything, so you're welcome

let me clear this up for you, yes i am clearly trying to help you understand that
generally the
far left is occupied by what we traditionally call beta males. this is being confirmed over and over again by millions of data points with various testing methods by experts in the field of personality psychology
biased people like to cry about how somehow anything negative towards one group or individual is mean or unfair. the problem with this conclusion is that we are talking about balance here. specifically the far left. on the flip side of that you get people with personalities on the far right, and guess what? yes they are very problematic also. since this forum is full of people on the far left who probably don't even understand they are illiberal and there is no debate that the far right is a disaster, i end up criticizing the far left. pay attention to the how little i use the term liberal. i spend little to no time criticizing actual liberals. also you dont get to just decide you are a liberal while behaving far left
on the topic of "toe tapping". i think that is called homosexual behavior and im not sure how that is relevant. i haven't paid any attention to the concept of sexual preference and political views but my guess is that they fall on both sides of the political spectrum with the vast majority voting for the party that pursues their agenda the best. we all know what that party is, the party that sees them as a vulnerable group even though we now have equal rights, we don't have equality

Actually this younger generation is lower in empathy. But let me know your source we can have a citation battle. And what do you think coddling has to do with promoting empathy?
But you know who really doesn't understand empathy?
Animals.
We cooperate with each other. We extend our empathy for other humans beyond our immediately family. Empathy is why we don't live like animals, ultimately the only reason we don't live like animals.
you don't understand empathy judging by your comments. i suggest you do your own research. i gave people a snapshot example of bears so the open minded and intelligent people reading this could begin to grasp the main point that empathy by itself is not a virtue. it can actually be (and often is) the very root cause of violent and dangerous behavior
you are right that animals don't understand empathy. they have empathy. thats why mothers will rip you to pieces in just in case you are a threat to their cub vs a male bear who would have already eaten the same cub prior to your arrival. thats how empathy can and does work. if you cant begin to understand that and want to, you're on your own. go figure it out if youre still curious, im not going to argue with you about it
categorizing a generation as empathetic or not is far too general to rebut my point. a safe space generation is dominated by women and men on the far left who are apart of the most coddled generation in the history of the planet. in order to have a safe space on campus you need to be an actual college student or work there. both the students and staff have moved farther and farther left on campuses. this is just indisputable. research shows that there more women than men in college now (agreeableness-maternal-empathy). studies also show that the ratio of professors going from conservative to "liberal" has shifted dramatically left over the past few decades. i realize that you hadn't thought through your empathetic generation comment before making it, but now that i've helped you do that im sure you will concede since you are obviously open minded and unbiased
in addition to all of this, its the very first facebook/social media generation. theres now a massive part of a generations social life/status that creates a reward system for being empathetic and virtuous

why are you responding and/or defensive about some white nationalists tweets. the pointing towards some irrelevant fringe weirdos tweet is a pathetic response to organized political groups shutting down free speech with violence. other than the aspect of free speech, why would you defend him? i mean these people are fringe and irrelevant. they aren't out in mass protest or even really relevant. theyre people who voice their weird ideas and none of them are ever going to be relevant.
i see people on here get defensive about truly repulsive political movements such as communism or this anitfa group attacking free speech through violence. any true liberal would not be defending those things or defensive. just like any sane conservative doesn't feel like they need to defend white nationalists
hopefully you're just making a free speech argument

this is just so incredibly dumb. after every terrorist attack... but but but, its not all.... and then before they finish their sentence theres another terrorist attack
ok theres loons on the far right with a machete that pop up once in a while. i think its far more accurate to say thats an individual with a mental health disorder than a political movement or agenda. antifa on the other hand is an organized political movement that are actively shutting down conservatives (and not the white nationalists being tweeted here) free speech at campuses through violence. you can't seriously be conflating the two can you?
