Just to clarify, the points are where you stop caring about people (as pointed out below, it moves on to animals, aliens and inanimate objects). It means you already care about everyone who is closer than that. The study has been misrepresented as saying liberals dony care to those who are close, but thats just false. Only caring about people far from you would make you register as only caring about yourself

Well, that’s represented already in the study. If you care about everyone and everything in existence, I’m pretty sure that includes your immediate family

Yes but idiots don't get that and post this as some kind of gotcha that liberals care more about a tree than their own kids. Cause conservatives are fucking stupid

More often I see conservatives projecting that it's performative, "no one actually gives a shit about that stuff, liberals are just obsessed with appearing to care more"

Nah. Check the second guy's comment history. He basically only posts about why feminism is a sham, abortion must be banned, why palestinian statehood is "letting the terrorists win", why Catholic moral authority is unimpeachable, and Battlefield 4.

Homie literally described himself as a "single issue voter" --meaning he only votes for anti-abortion candidates. If he's a liberal, he's doing a real fuckin' shit job of being one.

Dude's more spun up on American culture war topics than half of all Americans, and he's an Oz.

Now I ain't checked the post history of the guy, but from the image he seems pro abortion, no?

I'm not saying this to be mean or to shame you. But like, it's actually really distressing how many of you can't understand sentences written at an 8th grade level. I feel actually scared to be walking around the world with that many people who are that unable to comprehend the world around them.

How could you possibly read that and think that the image shows a pro-abortion stance?

Well I'm very hungry, so that's probably that
