Coercive Kindness and Situational Kindness, is not kindness. These people are like an abuser beating the crap out of you while screaming that they love you. Every thing they do is a performance, and I'm not playing along. I don't need some vapid bubble dweller telling me how to be anything especially kind.
Considering there are only 2 sexes. I don't have to respect someone that says they are a different gender and then invades the private spaces of the other sex. I don't have to respect someone that says they are a different gender and competes against the opposite sex in sporting events. Kindness would be telling them you need help you aren't that gender. What is really happening with these movements though is they are taking us back to where we used to be. The same people that had us there to begin with as a country. They are taking away women's rights. They are causing black people to desire to self-segregate. All these things this country fought for and we are being taken back. It is just painted a different way now.
Your alcoholic e.g. is a really good one. I’m not American nor live there, but I did grow up in a multi-cultural, multi-race, multi-colour society. You’re quite right, kids factor out all of that.
This is so important! I hold empathy and critical thinking as my core values, and as my newsletter name says it...there's nuances to those things. The people who disagree with me tell me that I'm not kind or that I'm not critical in my thinking because we didn't arrive to the same conclusion. People twist words to make them fit their perspectives, and it should be fine as long as you're not trying to twist people to fit your reality. This is why I keep writing and sharing my thoughts. I'm hypersensitive, I'm the leftist ideal victim, and yet I'm not who they want me to be.
Id actually submit that kindness is banal and useless. It’s disingenuous and lacks any sort of discernment and solely acts to keep you in lockstep with the faceless blob. Be tolerant, be respectful when warranted, be disciplined., be mindful, be passionate if the spirit moves you but be kind? No great culture or human ever turned on kindness. Think for yourself and be genuine in your human connections. Kindness is a fake crutch.
Typo? "They shouldn't be treated with kindness and respect regardless of how they believe."
I'm not sure if you meant "They should be treated with kindness and respect regardless of how they believe." or "Shouldn't they be treated with kindness and respect regardless of how they believe?", but you seem to have accidentally landed somewhere between those with a statement that contradicts your theme.

Excellent article, Jake. Not allowing people to go through the consequences of their choices creates the chaos we see today.
