……starting to think a lot of you do not know what the word empathetic means
#i have a lot to say about this but it is going to have to wait a few days until i’m no longer up to my ears in work
#but here’s a little thing to tide you over: empathy does not a good person make
#a capacity for empathy is in no way a capacity let alone willingness for good
#empathy and intense horrendous cruelty are not mutually exclusive
#if you think that evil comes in a single form if you think evil is just pure callousness coldness spot-it-a-mile-away inability to love
#then no fucking wonder people keep doing evil terrible things like in real life and your response is always ?! W hat ?!
#shocking: terrible evil people are still people. they are not robots of pure malice. they were once babies with coloring books
#that’s not saying we should feel bad for them or anything at all!!! just that you guys seem allergic to acknowledging that it doesn’t take a
#category 5 sociopath to commit an atrocity
#everyone go read arendt’s banality of evil and go watch act of killing by joshua oppenheimer
#no wonder trump keeps winning. y’all don’t view his supporters as people with any qualities other than Racism
#like i know this is a fictional character but the response here is so indicative of this much broader issue that makes me want to scream
#i get it. you’ve lived in a bubble your whole life and never interacted with people vastly different from yourself and had to acknowledge
#their personhood as much as their viewpoints disgusted you. talk to a conservative once in your life it might be mind blowing
#not bc you’ll be like WOAH :o THEYRE NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL! no!!!!! because they ARE that bad and they are also regular normal people!!!!!
#you are all so incapable of viewing anyone you dislike as having internal lives! christ!
#this is how trump won! how do you not see this!
#seriously go watch act of killing go watch anwar who murdered hundreds of people in cold blood warmly scold his grandchild for poking a duck
#too hard. like the most horrifying part of horrible ppl who commit atrocities is that they aren’t caricatures of evil
#we wish they were it would make it easier to understand
#agh i’m rambling i’ll shut up
#god watch ppl be like Uh why are you defending trump/genocide/fascists etc
#dumb fucks i’m telling you the most terrifying part about those people is that they are actually people that’s what makes it so hard to
#comprehend bc atrocities are so much easier to swallow when you can pretend a force of pure evil is behind it
#okokokok good night lol
