Ah, reading. The empathy inducer. Seeing others point of view. Traveling to other worlds. Reading a variety of subjects. Even the ones parents don’t want you to read. Mind enlarging. World expanding. My reading helped me become an advocate for those that cannot defend themselves.
How about u

Bryan Welsh @Coyotesings131 / 2 i grew up trailer trash in a small PA town. Lot of kids I grew up to ended up to be asshats, racist, red hat wearing fascists. I ended up, well, a lot more to the left.07:43 PM - Sep 30, 2023

2 Threaded Spouts
Ego development proceeds in stages from birth. Most stay stuck just beyond 5-yr-old conformity stage. (Conformity to the role of being a rebel or rule breaker is also conformity!) Pre-conformists lack capacity for empathy. Chief rule is don’t get caught. Jane Loevinger & Ruth Wessler’s findings.

MuzykConnexUs @seekfindenjoyrepeatI'm convinced that at some point in the future a name will be assigned to the mental illness that members of the GOP have. It'll be something in the sociopathy spectrum, but more acute 😒06:09 PM - Sep 30, 2023

In response to The Notorious DAC (Dr Laura) 🦐.
Too old to vote, too slow in the game,
A fake geek jeered, without any shame.
He tarnished the geek name, made it seem unkind,
But true geeks knew, he was not of their kind.
For in a world vast, where empathy is the aim,
It’s love and respect that earns geeky fame.

In response to RedSqurrl.
It was an empathy building lesson. The real brutalization and brutality of slavery have been completely "whitewashed" in the American South. A lot of white people think slaving ships were luxury cruises and Gone With The Wind is a documentary.

In response to Jerry Wechsler.
I love Maya Wiley. I think she has a real human sensitivity and inner life. She feels things, and also has intellect. Her empathy would have made her a superb Spokesperson and Press Secretary. IF she were mayor, it would serve her well also. Garcia had more managerial skills, though, IMHO.

In response to Just Curious #FirstWave.
This is infuriating and heartbreaking at the same. This Rep is not a public servant, he's a rich, entitled prick without a touch empathy in his dark soul.

In response to Seamoura (she/her) (see-more-uh).
She is conservative, privileged, and insulated from so many of the worries others must face, sees nothing wrong with the current state of political discourse, and accepts it as politics as usual. I have been hoping that sharing my perspective brings her towards empathy, but instead it's just jokes.

Sadistic sociopaths are not known for their empathy.

I was raised with the ethos of "walk a mile in their shoes". Empathy doesn't count if it is a feeling that happens ONLY when it affects you.

Kace FruitFace @FruitFacedFruitKaceThe way people just so casually infer that someone is a liar or making shit up just bc their little precious eyes haven’t seen something or they haven’t experienced something is something to behold about humans.03:48 PM - Sep 29, 2023
