I'm so sick and tired of people having a double standard when it comes to empathy, and this counts for people on both sides of the political aisle.
Ruth Bader Ginsberg died and conservatives posted videos with them singing 'ding dong the witch is dead'. It's okay because she had policies that were 'pro-murder'
Hamas rapes, murders and kidnaps children and teenagers and people try to make it sound okay because 'they were provoked'
5 people die in a submarine and people make jokes because they were rich and they 'should have known better'
The Supreme Court judges' kids get doxxed and it's okay cause their parents were 'stealing our rights'
Listen. I don't care what you believe. I don't care what your political affiliation is. If you can look at suffering and try to make it sound less bad simply because you disagree with the suffering person you are losing your humanity. Murder is wrong, whether you like the victim or not. Stop making this about your opinions. It's not about you; it's about other people's agony.
