I have zero compassion for people who claim any safety measures taken are ridiculous, pay extraoridinary amounts of money to do something stupid, and potentially cause the death of a young kid.

And then waste extraordinary resources in public funding to "fix" it.

Hope these families get charged for every dollar.

exactly. these people are a blight on society. why should so many resources be wasted on their egos just because they have fat bank accounts?

sadly too many people are bootlickers who think the wealthy and their awful lifestyles are something to be worshipped. i would wager most of the empathy pushers here have zero empathy for the migrants on the boats... because those people had no wealth.

sad truth is we live in a world where your moral worth or empathy worth is directly tied to your financial worth. a few rich people dying is a tragedy to dwell on, hundreds of poor people dying is not worth a thought.

I personally think the empathy pushers are just bad faith actors.

Misplaced empathy (if genuine) is just as nuclear as fascist takeover.

Empathizing with the utterly cruel and utterly dumb is how you can't tell anymore who is truly kind and generous.

yep. they are the ones whining and saying 'why can't we bury/block/ignore this bad person and their bad comments'.

the people who police negativity are the ones who are subscribe to proto fascism because the underlining feeling/though is 'get in line or get lost'.

they don't have empathy, they just have moralizing/policing of empathy to boost themselves up and put down others, because they live a fragile and delusional world that cannot tolerate difference of opinion or perspective.

the shittiest part of reddit is how so many subs an the entire site became overrun with people who have the mentality of toddlers and start going around policing the 'always be nice to everyone at all times' and 'don't say anything that might upset someone' and fail to see how fucked up and facist that sort of regime always becomes as it marginalizes anyone outside of the dominate group and often perpetuates destructive points of view.

or even more simple, it's the people who have 'empathy' for the homeless but pass laws criminalizing homelessness and refuse to allow shelters or other resources in their communities. feeling bad for someone doesn't make you a good person. doing good things does.
