    I can tell you pretty easily but that won’t stop you from pretending to be surprised for internet points next time

    Conservative empathy is reserved only for close associations, it is a crisis management mode that modern doomteller media actively stokes with imaginary threats of immigrants and trans people so it is ALWAYS on

    In times of crisis, humanity’s generosity contracts as we have to do the cold calculations over limited resources and the fact that we do NOT value every person equally.

    Example: If I only had enough food for me and one other person, I would not give that food to a bigot because that food is better served in the belly of a progressive

    It’s just that they are triggered into this mode at all times and their circle of empathy is basically only family and friends, but deep down it is always only just them if times get hard enough

    You saw the same behavior in times of famine all across the world
