Is empathy a meme?

Why have empathy at all?

This. People who enable LGBT people hurt them way more than anyone else ever could

Because we're a social race, whether you like it or not. If you don't like it, then the only thing you can really do is exhile yourself to the woods, honestly.

you can't apply empathy to politics because politics aren't part of human life. if they cared so much about society, we wouldn't have democracy in the first place. it doesn't do anything but slow down progress and divide the people up in 2 or more groups. + it's easily manipulated

>all gay ppl habe the aids maymay

T_D

Subhumans can't feel empathy
Just look at Jow Forums

>In 2014, gay and bisexual men made up an estimated 2% of the U.S. population, but accounted for 70% of new HIV infections
They statistically do

Yo ureally can't use the usa population as a base for the world though
Same goes for china population

I Don't Read Texts That Capitalize Every Word

>Jow Forums is wrong meme

Lemme tell you, I'm 35% white and am therefore part of the master race! Trump has a very high IQ of 89 and will burn your shithole country down.

Surprise it was written by a woman.

>not understanding how headlines work

Are you dense? You use title formatting.

no empathy for nigs, fags, illegals, muslims, white guilt faggots, spics, etc

Women generally have more empathy

>titles longer than 3 or 4 words for publications that aren't scholarly articles

Only online tabloid rags do that

And thats a good thing!

I care. In fact the law states very clearly that everyone (including terrorists) should be treated fairly and humanely.

Imagine being this autistic

When capitalization sticks out like a sore thumb, you're doing it wrong. No matter what's the proper way, if my eye catches it, it's disgusting.

It isn't empathy, it's Empathy (TM), aka a carefully constructed psyop by globalist, corporatist elite.

Empathy means caring about your family and friends first, then community, nation, and finally the world.

They have distorted the shit to make you think you need to sacrifice family, friends, community, and your nation, for the world. It is gross. And the people who scream about being kind or empathetic on social media the most are usually horrible people IRL who are coping hard.

>this policy is good because the people making it say it will help the poor
It's not about empathy, it's about trusting politicians and thinking about causes and consequences.

This.
Actually the first non-edgy cringey leaf post I've ever read.

You're right, of course, but teenagers will still call you a cuck

>And the people who scream about being kind or empathetic on social media the most are usually horrible people IRL who are coping hard.
not an argument

Eye for an eye
Nice people deserve nice treatment, rude people deserve rude treatment
Blowing shit up and shooting random people because they don't believe in your personal brand of sky wizard is pretty rude

The word "terrorist" is used by the elite to label their enemies. Literally anyone can be deemed a terrorist, many former terrorists are now heroes.

empathy isn't sympathy you fucking retards

The way the term is used ultimately amounts to "feeling in accordance with my specified ideology."

*snap*

Yes, you can live a normal life with a lack of empathy

t. Psycho.

It's called being a human fucking being, you absolute autist. Empathy is the quality of following golden rule, do unto others as you would want done unto you. It's the rule that we should all use to all other humans, and the world would actually be a perfect place if everyone did.

Whatever you're describing is some stupid buzzword bullshit that has nothing to with empathy. You're just trying to justify warping the definition to fit your worldview. Empathy is empathy.

What is it with this site and people being emotionally stunted? It saddens me. Was life really that fucking rough growing up that all of you have to be bitter spiteful people?

Absolutely. Dehumanizing people you don't like is literally the first step to killing them. No one wants to kill human beings with beating hearts and mothers and children and friends. But "rebels" or "terrorists" or "gooks" is fine because words have power.

>Idk about torturing people Mr President.
Not people! Terrorists! Murderers!
>Well I can't argue with that

Girls wouldn't suck my willy in high school so now i wanna gas the kikes and start a race war. Life is suffering for people like me.

Empathy must be tempered and limited. Those who are harmful to society must either be reformed, by force if necessary, so they no longer do harm.
If this fails, they must be excluded from society. Nobody owes them anything.
If they then still harm society, they may be destroyed, like a rabid dog.

Way to prove my point. The term gets trotted out primarily for the purpose of making the speaker's opponents seem pathological.

eye for an eye has never led to anything good

So... why should I care about other people?

This. Caring about people is counter-productive desu.

if you act like an asshole you get treated like an asshole

I think it's also a bit of the protestant american idea that everyone is born a sinner and should suffer no matter what, and that they even if they have the power to take others out of their state of suffering they still won't.

You dont have to care about other people to know that You must follow "the rules" though. I dont feel empathy, yet I know I cannot do whatever the heck It is my mind because there will a punishment.

The most profitable way is pretending that you spend resources on others, but in reality to spend as little as possible.

This is unironically a pretty evil way of going through life.

>evil
nice meme

Actually agree with that last part mostly, he's not telling you not to feel just how to properly manage strong emotions like grief, which is incredibly challenging

I was born this way. Blame my parents and their genetics.

t. "empathetic" faggot who is really just being emotionally and morally controlling to achieve your political goals

No, it's not, and it isn't cringey, I noticed you feelsy bleeding heart faggots have been trying to use that lately as your pejorative flavor of the month.

The world at the end of the day is not an ideal place, it is dangerous and most are selfish at their root. While you have a duty to help your fellow man you have a greater duty to yourself and your family first and foremost, a sell out is hardly a man at all.

You can only help others once you have helped yourself. I don't for one second believe most of these people who band onto the "Empathy" bandwagon are personally altruistic, from what I can gather of those I know who push it they are mostly disorganized, purposeless, and insecure individuals themselves.

I'm not spiteful at all. If I saw someone on the street in need of help I would give it. If a friend needed help I would give it. But no, I'm not going to buy into a globalist scheme to sell out the West under the auspices of "empathy" because you think you can levy self righteous superiority complexes over those who don't want to commit national suicide and expose their children and children's children to a worse environment than were born in.

I'm guessing you are a kid though so a lot of these abstract concepts may not register.

Yeah a bit.

It's best not to get too caught up in virtue signalling and SJWing for people you don't know.

Just try to be a half decent person and get on with life.

except this post makes some sence. You shouldn't cry in high stake scenarios when people are counting on you. In private with no one around, sure. Why not?

What if the world is an evil place where evil wins?

This, but unironically.

I can see how growing up in Russia would make you think that t b h.

>t. "empathetic" faggot who is really just being emotionally and morally controlling to achieve your political goals
1) you have no proof of people holding these motives
2) this is irrelevant to whether or not empathy is good or bad.
it's not an argument

>It's the rule that we should all use to all other humans, and the world would actually be a perfect place if everyone did.
no it wouldn't lol, stop thinking this gay childhood morality cookie is the sum of all virtues

Human beans are intrinsically altruistic. Altruism serves to motivate the acquisition and maintenance of of social control, which is what enabled humans to work together and form societies and ultimately to reach our current level of technological development.

If it was survival of the fittest, we would still be living in caves, since no one would have been collaborating on anything at any stage in history. You think the Agricultural Revolution in 10,000 B.C. which transformed humans from hunter gatherers to settled civilizations would have been feasible if everybody were pillaging one another for their yield until they themselves were robbed and murdered by an even bigger and badder farmer?

I wish It was not true. My own family think I am some kind of freaking monster.

>Human beans are intrinsically altruistic.
so if I don't feel altruistic towards someone, then obviously I am right and they're not actually in need

You misunderstand empathy and its utility in the context of human relationships

It is being manipulated right now by profiteers at the expense of common people

Need a tangible example? The Susan G. Komen organization. Red Cross, RED(TM), these organizations all rack in crazy money and redirect about 5% of their income to the actual stated initiatives.

Were you abused and deprived of love as a child?

>people have different viewpoints to mine
>insult them to cope

The best living countries are the most cunning and cruel ones. First world is basically a collection of clever predators. I indeed want Russia to join first world.

No, My whole life was normal. I just dont have it, though this does not mean I dont feel other emotions such as happiness or sadness. The worst of this is Wherever I go I have to tell to others, all my movements have to be tracked because I am "unreliable" and "unstable". Being a psycho is not an easy life.

>people

what about good will, the salvation army, YMCA, and even local churches that run things like soup kitchens, food drives, clothes banks, hockey leagues. Are these not truly empathetic? What if my family and friends are living well, which in my case they are, then I would be a sinner if I were not to extend my good will to others. Doing good in the world is always good, it is never evil. You would have to go through some sjw tier mental gymnastics to try and convince yourself that good acts are evil.

you probably just have assburgers

That one is a scam. People give them stuff for free and they turn a profit off it, and they call themselves a nonprofit organisation.

empathy is socialism

>all gay ppl habe the aids maymay
Not all, for example in USA gays have only hundred or so larger HIV rate than others.

>assburgers
Nah, I have being tested by medics and all. Although I wish, they only gave two choices either being locked or this shitty existance that I now have.

I never spoke against them, did I. They aren't the Big Money Empathy (TM) enterprise I was alluding to. They are low cash flow for a reason, they aren't lucrative.

I have volunteered at a soup kitchen, I went to a church where I tithed, donated to goodwill, and went on a missions trip to Mexico. I think you are clearly misunderstanding my point.

It has been turned into a bastard monster because empathy is both a feature and bug in our system. It is exceedingly easy to guilt people into doing whatever you want if you can make them feel morally bereft at their core.

On a corporate level this is the multitude of shitty aid organizations. On a state level this is the government making you think you are a Nazi for enforcing basic immigration law, even as you let in a million people legally per year.

It isn't always the right thing to do, just sometimes, like most things involving human behavior, it is best in moderation.

How can they restrict your movements if you haven't done anything wrong? That would be illegal in burgerland.

Because I am "dangerous" according to those assholes.

"Empatheia" in Greek means "malice, hostility, spite".
"Sympatheia" means "fondness, liking".

I'm inclined to believe them

>have an individual they consider unpredictable and unstable
>piss him off by treating him like a subhuman monster
How could this ever go wrong?

No but neither is logical thought

I'm sorry, user. I wish you a safe and low conflict life.

By letting people immigrate to your country because their country is a shithole they have no incentive to fix their own country because they can just leave, your """empathy""" is a shortsighted meme

Who is worse, the Americans simply enforcing border laws, or the corrupt politicians that force you to leave your country because it is a shithole

If you look at Mexican immigration in the United States it becomes clear that Mexico is exporting their problem populations because they are too corrupt to create a prosperous society, but somehow America is the bad guy for telling them to fuck off and get their shit together

Same thing happens in the middle east and africa, these countries can export single young men to western countries instead of dealing with them because young men are violent and cause revolutions. Instead of fixing things at home they can just push it off
