This is pretty much what I get from that. Not a shred of empathy.

That's the conservative MO, in my experience. Don't care until it personally affects them. That's why they'll beat their chests about the sanctity of marriage, but get divorced. Or talk about protecting life, until their mistress needs an abortion.

Even then, they don't learn empathy. "Well my case is different" they say while on welfare

The only moral abortion is my abortion.

so many people literally either have no clue about what his actual policies are, are have been so indoctrinated by our shitty schooling that their view of the world is incredibly warped

I mean true but also even people who have a shred of empathy don't always show it until they get a firsthand story. Partially human nature, but yes mostly dog shit moral philosophy giving them an excuse to not care about others.

Sure, but a mindset change has to start somewhere. A wild thought, but maybe they'll invest time, if only a little, in the other side and slowly but surely realize how screwed up they used to think?

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Some surely will. Let’s just hope enough people will follow.

Lack of empathy means an abundance of evil.
