I’m not saying you have to treat them with kindness. I am saying you have to reckon with the fact that they are still human. Or you will be doomed to follow the same path.

I don’t believe they are the same species as me. They have devolved to the point where their brains lack empathy, a distinctly human trait.

Is empathy only a human trait? Doubtful. Animals have been known to show empathy as well. Humans aren’t all that special, we’ve just learned to fuck over everything else on the planet.

I recognize what happened to them was wrong and shouldn’t have happened, but I am glad it wasn’t a person of better moral character to be the victim.

Wouldn’t the fascists even argue that empathy is toxic?

They do, but they also perform double speak to counter their hypocrisy. They’re rather famous for doing it.
