While I agree that a black and white approach isn’t exactly accurate, you can get to a point where the situation becomes close enough to black/white as a matter of practical considerations (i.e. outcomes). Again, not something specific to the US, it can and does happen everywhere.
I am still clinging to the hope that the Americans will turn things around (i.e. no Obama “hope and change” while avoiding addressing crime and corruption), but it’s becoming increasingly difficult.
And claiming that the overwhelming majority of the US far right is incapable of empathy (or that they are fundamentally supportive of crime and corruption) isn’t factually incorrect to my knowledge.
You are correct, it’s a choice. But no one (IMO even the thread OP) is arguing there is a physiologic reason for the lack of empathy. It’s shorthand for saying they choose not to show empathy and this won’t change any time soon (i.e. definitely not in the next 20-30 years).
Look, I am probably more on your side than our conversation would suggest, but I cannot imagine any realistic scenario of positive developments in American society. Can you? If yes, what is this scenario?
Hey please drop the bullshit “holier than thou” narrative.
You’re pathetic and rather try to hold hands with Nazis than stand up to them. How very Nevillle Chamberlain of you.
And actually it is quite black and white.
There is zero nuance to mass kidnappings of brown people by white supremachists. Its indisputably evil.
There’s zero nuance to destabilizing a developing nation for the purposes of your rich buddies raping it for resources. Its indisputably evil.
There’s zero nuance to threatening to annex an ally’s territory, again for your rich buddies to rape it for resources. Its indisputably evil.
There’s zero nuance to befriending the CEO of elite pedophiles incorporated, and trafficking and raping kids with him for a decade, its indisputably evil.
And there’s zero nuance to gleefully and openly supporting genocide, foreign nor domestic. Its indisputably evil.
The fact you can’t the black and white nature of the evil of these crimes shows you are fundamentally morally bankrupt, intellectually barren, and untrustworthy with even the most basic and fundamental critical analysis of any serious situation.
Sit this one out, Jr. The adults don’t have time to make kids like you feel better about their insecurities.

I misunderstood. Apologies.

Its ok, I’ll summarize:
You’re a colossal pussy and know nothing about politics, let alone reality.
