TLDW. what would the difference between sympathy and empathy be?

I would argue that the average person refers to a mix of both when they use the word “empathy”:
- caring about the other person’s pain
- being there for them
- trying to see things from their perspective
- wanting the other person to be better and wondering how one could help.
Classifying one as “a terrible problem” and the other as acceptable seems (at least) a bit pedantic. Specially when it comes to language, a dynamic phenomena in which words mean what (the majority of) people deem them to mean.
my two cents

He did say kids should see public executions.
“Death penalties should be public, should be quick, it should be televised. I think at a certain age, its an initiation…What age should you start to see public executions?” -Kirk

nah, those kids are definitely gonna privately celebrate. i know i did when my horrible dad died
merc@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
His daughter just turned 3, and his son is 16 months old. I don’t think they’re going to celebrate. But, they’re going to grow up hearing stories about how their father was a martyr who died heroically, trying to save the soul of the USA. Let’s just hope that as adults they’re able to see past that brainwashing and understand what a truly horrible person their father was.

Sounds reasonable.

Empathy for the other people attending that rally who had to see such a violent event. Some were there to cheer him on, so fuck them. But, others were there to try to debate him. It was dumb of them to play into his game and participate, but still, some will be leaving that event pretty traumatized.

Does that mean you don’t believe in empathy?
Sincerely believing in empathy as a guide doesn’t mean only when it’s convenient. Empathy isn’t supposed to be convenient.
For clarification, I’m not claiming he deserves empathy.
