It seems that CK message got to me. Somehow, I don’t feel empathy.
Have you reflected on that? The less empathy you feel, the more you are honouring his memory.
And the more you celebrate the way he died, the more his message stays true.
Weird. This started as a shitpost and then got serious.
I chose to try to feel empathy for his children and still denounce gun violence and lack of action to stop it.
The way I see it, it’s good that he has shut up, but it’s not good that it took him being killed to do it
It is kind of conflicting. He wanted no empathy but also didn’t deserve any. Fuck that cunt. He FAFO
What’s conflicting about that?
In objective reality, if you treat people who profess to believe such things like that, they bitch and moan until they get their way. But if the roles are reversed, they really act like they don’t give a damn about you.
This is a case of rules are for you, but they don’t apply to me.
These type of people are just so annoying to be around to put it mildly.
Empathy doesn’t mean you’ll adjust your position. It just means you can RP as someone well enough to come away with an understanding from that person’s perspective.
You can be empathetic and once the exercise is over, still not budge in terms of your original assessment.
Empathy is dangerous to fascists. Everything they’re doing unravels if a population is good at it. It’s why they hate it so much. Don’t toss them a free W.
I have empathy for the people that suffer because of that vile cunts rhetoric.
I have empathy for that vile cunt because you don’t become that vile cunt if everything is going great for you.
But if you are responsible for so much pain in the world it is better if you don’t exist. I also would take a change of heart. If that vile cunt changes it’s ways and start doing good in the world. Fine, that’s even better than dead. But was that ever an option?
Bring evil = -1 Being dead = 0 Bring good = +1
I think that is a rational way to see that problematic.
Don’t people say that no one is the villain of their own story? They think they’re the good ones, that’s why this reasoning doesn’t work.
I have a problem believing he thought is wholesome. to celebrate violence or lack of empathy.
What they think doesn’t matter. There is stuff that is objectively good and there is stuff that is objectively bad.
I feel empathy that he could have changed. Had so many times to see what he was doing was wrong and could’ve been a force for good. But choose to be evil. I feel empathy that he couldn’t see what the road he traveled would hold. How he didn’t see the harm he would bring his daughter and wife.
But for the man himself? I wouldn’t piss on him, even if it closed up that hole he got.

I think the conflict only comes if you are a person who feels empathy. His positions are irrelevant in tbr face of a human body suffering a miserable catastrophe.
The fact that he was a douchebag doesn’t change the fact that a body had its neck exploded, and that probably hurt and was frightening. These are experiences. If you have empathy then you have a sort-of mirror- experience. It doesn’t become joy just because he sucked as a person. That’s sadism, to enjoy another body’s misery.
