Larken, thanks for this video! I loved it :)

I think those pushing NVC and that sort of thing are confusing being empathetic, caring and compassionate with NVC.

I see NVC as a way of trying to manipulate someone or a situation for personal gain. It should be used in certain scenarios, like when you're being threatened or trying to sell a product. When it comes to confronting someone with the truth, however, I don't see how it falls in line with NVC.

When you use communication to appeal to what someone else needs and wants you can bend and twist your reactions with sugar coated nonsense that soothes the other person and makes them feel comfortable with your communication. Is that the goal when they might have a totally false and warped world view?

Self sadistic, mind controlled, slavery loving statists don't need their emotions appealed to and people to kindly meet their needs. Sometimes they need to be confronted with truth that doesn't usually fall in line with using NVC.

NVC is about meeting the other persons needs. What if they are fucking evil?

What's your stance on it?
