It's very strange to me that "manly" men get all sort of bent out shape when any sort of kindness is expressed in the zeitgeist. They somehow pride themselves in their belief that life is "Nasty, brutish and short" and should always be. Basic compassion and empathy expressed in any generally public sense sends American (especially suburban American men) into a frenzy.

They don't want you to promote being nice, want you promote "being stronger". The world doesn't need to be less shitty to them, you need to be tougher. It's a bleak mindset, and they say "The Left™©®" is a bunch of amoral godless savages or whatever. It's just really wild to think "Be kind 🤗" is somehow some sort of vile indoctrination in the eyes of CHUDS.

It's so weird. A children's education program promoting kindness should be about as "apolitical" as it gets. It's just bonkers to me that real-ass adults are bugging out online over it. The mind palace of the CHUD must be a goddamn wasteland of Mad Max barbarism.
