Some guy yesterday described it as all the hate he spouted had emptied that bucket of empathy a normal person would feel. There are only so many times you can hear such hateful and hurtful things that POS said before you lose the ability to feel any sympathy for them. Sorta like what he felt for everyone but just for him. In my case I felt nothing bad when I saw that video. Nor the image above.
In times like this, fascists will work to weaponize empathy. They’ll say you’re an awful person if you don’t feel bad about it. They’ll say you’re awful for shit-talking, because you lack empathy. In reality, demanding empathy from the victims of fascism is another violence against the victims that those fascists actively work to oppress.
Fascists have mastered the act of shooting and crying, then using empathy (or more specifically, the lack thereof) to demonize the same people they have been shooting at. They begin by oppressing people. When those oppressed people eventually refuse to show empathy for the fascists, the fascists claim that the people they have been shooting at are monsters. And that is used to further justify the fascists’ actions.
Don’t fucking fall for it. This is the same idea behind “the tolerant left” being coined by conservatives. It’s used as a cudgel whenever intolerance is refused, like some sort of gotcha. If you feel empathy for him, then great for you. But don’t let anyone make you feel bad for refusing empathy against an oppressor. Because the person attempting to villainize you is only working to victimize you.
I didn't say anything about feeling empathy for kirk. He used up all of mine. I was talking about him and maga. They lack empathy. They think its toxic or they don't believe it exist. The reason for that is simple. They lack it in full. Fascist weaponize guilt not empathy.
