Even that is too strong, imo. The vast majority of empathy lacking conservatives are themselves dirt poor, and on the plate of another.

But it still hurts to think about how bad others might have it, especially when you’re so beat down by life that you are barely making it by yourself, so they buy into an easier answer, “the other”.

I hope empathy has a place in this conversation too!

Or possibly just more drugs

No u

That was good, thank you!

I read an interesting book based on this premise called The Forever War, it’s been awhile but it was pretty good!

Similar premise but with soldiers sent to fight a war and eventually finding it already over.
