Empathy. It shocks me how many "adults" have a toddler-level understanding of their relationship to the world (as in it doesn't revolve around them) and society (as in we have responsibility for each other). So many "adults" sound like screeching toddlers whenever there's a hint of someone else getting something they don't get. It even reaches the level of "I don't like this movie so it shouldn't have been made" as if the very existence of entertainment or education or whatever in a field they themselves don't prefer is a personal affront.

And this isn't even a right-wing thing. The feminist National Action Committee in Canada was turned from a potent and feared political force to a laughingstock by ostensible left-wing women deciding that their concerns over daycare trumped native women's active murders among other intersectional issues.
