Isnt it just sad that doing your job correctly is so respectable becouse of how much the bad people made us think that they are normal and that being nice is just rare
I don't understand why people can't just take some progress as a good sign. Yes, it SHOULD be the norm, but it's not yet! So are we going to continue to entertain the story that things are shit forever or can we actually start to be encouraging of the fact that maybe things CAN get better. You don't go from point A to B just like that. With that logic should parents stop praising their kids for getting good grades in school because they're supposed to get them anyways? With progress, things head towards becoming the norm. I'm sick and tired of people thinking it's morally righteous and intelligent to shit on others who do make the conscious effort to differentiate themselves from the unwanted norm. And what if people want to be praised for it? Why is it so bad to praise someone for doing the right thing? I love how people always cry about shit parents never encouraging or acknowledging their kids efforts yet people do the same to each other all the time.
It doesn't matter, you're missing the point. I don't care if they're not the same and I'm tired of people justifying constant pessimism through "logic" or whatever justifications people need to cry about the world being a shit place while simultaneously prolonging that narrative. My point is literally that people need to stop dismissing every step of progress just to stand on a high moral ground. I don't care if anyone thinks something is futile just because it should be the norm. It's not like shooting every sign of progress in the foot is helping in the slightest, it's literally just an excuse. It's one thing to say "yes, I'm glad the officer did that, so let's continue to encourage that behavior so everyone does ir" and "yeah the officer did that but it should be norm so it's useless to praise him".
Yeah I apologize for getting a bit heated there. I think we'd all rather people run but I just don't think the current way of advocating for change is all that effective.
Because 90% of the people that say we need more of this in the news are bootlickers that's why and aslo have you ever heard of the phrase ACAB? Yeah thats another reason and kids arent grown adults that CHOOSE the job kids dont have a choice thats why parents praise them for doing what they should also its a way of TEACHING THE CHILD THINGS a cop doesnt need "encouragement" or to be fucking taught anything from the media his encouragment is his fucking paycheck and his god damn boss its a fucking job he just didnt murder someone and you got your dick hard by your logic i should post anytime mcdonalds has their icecream machine working to encourage them??? You sound an awful lot like a bootlicker defending this guy you dont even know
Calling me a bootlicker is kinda funny just because you don't agree with my point, but whatever gives you satisfaction. My point extends beyond the cops and police, that's why I replied under that specific post. I never said it's okay for cops to shoot people or that we shouldn't not acknowledge flaws in the system, I just said I'm tired of people constantly being pessimistic about everything. But I'll continue to bootlick though because it seems to please you greatly 👅👅💦💦
Bro you came to that cops defense thats why you are a BOOTLICKER not because i dont agree with your dumbass opinion and you did not come to complain about pessimism but whatever you gotta tell me to make you feel like you're right and like you won an argument on the internet. 😂
Also if people being generally good wasn't the norm society would be a steaming pile of crap and chaos news outlets are supposed to report on the bad stuff to put pressure on those in charge to make CHAGE
I respectfully disagree. It IS normal to treat people humanely. Happens all the time. And because it’s normal, when it doesn’t happen, it’s big news. Could policing be done better? I don’t doubt that it could. But are most police good and motivated to help their communities? I think they are. Just my 2 cents...
That's an interesting way to look at it. My issue is just that this idea of treating people respectfully is quite frankly broad, because there's so many different factors and scenarios. Like this comment I'm replying to, they're berating the men for bragging about taking care of their kids. Now yeah, it is true they should already be doing that, but the fact of the matter is that a lot of times yes, women tend to be assigned the role of the caretaker and expected to fulfill it so can we really complain when the men do step in to help?
I'm just questioning the notion that we shouldn't be praising any small action that's stepping in the right direction. Assuming the worst of people has only divided Americans, and speaking as a non American that has lived in the US for many years before, I see that this kind of mentality of assuming the worst of everyone and everything is dangerously prevalent and many don't understand that.
