Ya, I’m not talking about extremists. I’m talking about just normal everyday people.

Eh. Fits with what I see in politics, the folks voting for right winger, and my own experiences conversing with them IRL. I see no issue with making that assumption and then being pleasantly surprised the odd time it isn’t true.
Maybe it’s a North America thing, tho. It’s quite possible that the euro flavor of right wing is a more empathetic group.

I didn’t say they were “all bad.” I said they lacked empathy and I wasn’t interested in being friends with them.
Conservative and progressive brains are different.

Black reports that every Nazi concentration camp maintained its own Hollerith-Abteilung (Hollerith Department), assigned with keeping tabs on inmates through use of IBM’s punchcard technology.[2]: 351 In his book, Black charges that “without IBM’s machinery, continuing upkeep and service, as well as the supply of punch cards, whether located on-site or off-site, Hitler’s camps could have never managed the numbers they did.”[2]: 352

I’m not sure that’s true. One side has empathy. The other does not. I don’t want to be friends with someone who doesn’t have empathy.
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 4 days ago:
Yup. Idiots incapable of compromise, so they get nothing.

IBM sold “inmate” counting machines to Nazi Germany. Like, sent techs there to the camps to size up the requirements and everything. It should NOT come as a surprise that they’re back on X - they’ve never had an issue with Fascism (or any other ism) as long as they had money to spend on overpriced iron.

- Comment on Wikipedia is under assault: rogue users keep posting AI generated nonsense 5 weeks ago:
I got permabanned from Reddit for saying “I wish we could bring back old-school stocks as punishment for whoever did this so the whole town could line up to throw rotten vegetables at them.” Apperently, that’s so radically violent that they had to permaban me.
- Comment on Microsoft formally deprecates the 39-year-old Windows Control Panel 2 months ago:
Yup. I have 1 app that requires window. That’s all that’s keeping me. That one app. And we’re migrating away from it towards a webif, so it’s only a matter of time.
