Quote:Again, zero citation of your source.

Genetic fallacy again. If it's from what you allege to be a "liberal" source, then it must be untrue? Doesn't work that way..

If you're so desperate to see the source, quote it in Google search and find it yourself. It doesn't matter who said it. It shows overwhelmingly the meaning of respect everywhere in our society and culture despite your idiotic denials. I can go on posting tons more if you'd like. The fact that you can't refute it at all proves you have already been proven completely wrong.

Oh look..here's the AI summary from Google on "respecting others". Ya think AI is a liberal source? lol

"Respecting others means treating them with consideration, concern, and equality. It involves valuing their feelings and opinions, even if you don't agree with them.

How to show respect

Be a good listener: Listen to others when they speak and try to understand their point of view
Be polite: Use manners, be kind, and avoid interrupting
Be considerate: Wait your turn, respond in a timely manner, and think before you speak
Be appreciative: Acknowledge what others do well and let them know you appreciate them
Be inclusive: Respect differences in beliefs and opinions
Be validating: Affirm others' achievements and reinforce their opinions"

Learn to read, dipshit. I never said it wasn't true because it was a "liberal" source. I said it was leftist garbage and it's bullshit because it's moron leftists like you making up bullshit vague definitions. You're not citing any references, moron. You're citing a college webpage, likely written by moron 20 somethings or academics with zero life experience. It's just leftist claptrap.

You just keep proving you're too intellectually dishonest and lazy to cite your sources... because you know they're bullshit. Yes, most AI is trained on tons of leftist garbage. Again, crawl out from under your leftist rock and learn about the real world, moron.

Nobody is making up anything moron. There's no secret liberal conspiracy to change the meaning of the word "respect". It's what everybody who uses the English phrase "respecting others" means by it. And it's in the dictionaries too. You're just too stupid to read all the definitions given:

And you claim zero of those definitions are earned?
Every single definition is given freely to strangers?

Lol How does a stranger earn being treated with respect by others? They don't know him and have no expectation of him paying for it somehow. Respect is free and is everyone's right.

Apparently you can't even comprehend the definitions you post.

How do you have "a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements" of a complete stranger?

You can't be this stupid. I posted the definitions I'm referring to in bold. Now you quote the other definition. We're done..

So can you guess which one I'm talking about when I say respect is earned?
You know, the one (primary) least likely to be a synonym for courtesy?

Or is your confirmation bias so powerful that you can't even read parts of what you cite?

What I've skimmed seems to be on the right track.
