Individual flaws


It often seems to me that the political Right demonstrates a lack of ethics while the political Left personifies mental illness.

That's just a generalization, of course, based on my own personal interactions over the years. There are exceptions, and in some individuals, these characteristic traits swap places. Especially online.

Honestly, I don't think one problem is inherently better than the other. Both are dangerous in different ways. Both are tiresome. Both inspire me to speak up and point it out, which is never appreciated. 

Oh well.

My own shortcoming is that I lack empathy for people who want to govern others and otherwise violate their rights. I try, but if I do manage it, it's not going to last long.

    It may be evidence of my own ‘shortcoming’ (?), a social deficiency perhaps, but I don’t see yours as any actual deficiency but instead the indication that you do possess a personal ethic. Such an ‘empathy’ or shared sympathy is appropriate regarding another’s random misfortunes or the negative consequences of their virtues but is wholly misplaced when accorded to their knowing errors and vices. The intent to exercise rulership over another is the prime example of the latter and is inexcusable.
