I think i get so incensed at some people, including comrades, because I hate when people use something being “hard” as an excuse to not do the work to actually think properly. [Materially it can be different. If you’re disabled then that’s a reasonable thing to say it’s hard to do physical things like protest]

“It’s hard for me to sympathize with x” or “well it’s hard for me to see it like that because y.” Well tough. That’s really all I have to say. If you want to have a huff and a puff about it then go calm down and think about it. If you actually have something logical to say then I’ll listen to it, but if all you have is Pathos then you have nothing at all

Edit: This isn’t related to something recent or anything. I was thinking about a conversation I had with a Chinese comrade a while back that bugged me

Edit 2: I think I also hate emotional reasoning in general. I’m not saying you shouldn’t experience emotion, but the amount of times ive seen someone say something immaterial because of emotions is dumb.
