I already said that

and is one of several that separates red and blue.

No, it really does not.

It does to those who care.

With wit to care about themselves, or the wit to care about others?

I specifically asked ppl to refrain from a "hearts" narrative because it's not what I am asking.

But it is very relevant to the topic of this thread.  Some have hard hearts.  Some do not care about people not like them, or not of their perceived group, be it family, religion, or race.  Some are conservatives.  You cannot address the question of this thread without addressing tribalism and the division of wealth.  You can only declare yourself a tribal thinker and try to insist that others become tribal thinkers too.

Those with empathy are not likely to agree.

So, your individual thought is tribal?  Since the very definition of tribalism requires more than one person, are you facing multiple personas internally, and if so, how does this affect their views - individually - on the subject matter, and CAN those ppl within you make individual decisions on their own?  If not, you are still not answering.

There is no unified answer that all will agree to.  We agree on that much.  My personal answer is with the blue.

Yes, I have shadow personas dwelling in my head.  It is called empathy.  It is hard to explain to someone who does not have it.  Believe me.  I have tried.  The best you can do is make them admit that they are not concerned about others and prefer not talk about that lack.

Again, those who do have empathy are not likely to agree. They are just as dedicated to their beliefs, only backwards.
