larping will always be a problem in political forums, but taking away the "you're gonna get banned" incentive to act like a reasonable person is only going to lead to incredible insufferable larping, and it's already trended in that direction.

any version of leftism that is not primarily centered around empathy is useless and will lead to nothing positive. unfortunately in isolated internet communities too many peoples' version of leftism is about extreme edge and fantasizing about violence

    My point is that there is no logic that exists outside of the emotional conscious experience. Your concepts of logic are informed through experiences and teachings that coincided with emotional experience (which both emerges from and informs said experiences and teachings). When you use the term logic it's the reified concept of logic that is detached from the processes of knowledge and belief formation (which includes emotional content) through which it arose. The concepts of what is a "correct" or "better" decision cannot be separated from the experiences which informed these concepts and those experiences involve emotion. I don't advocate for impulsivity. I advocate for understanding that emotion is involved in every aspect of being and understanding, not just immediate experience. Anger is not purely impulsive and if you want to be empathetic, be understanding of people's anger - it is not some impulsive aberration
