      At this point, in 2023, we are on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We lost RvW, next is same sex marriage, then voting rights, and boom! Back to pre 1920. So forgive me if I’m not particularly sad when leopards devour someone’s face.

      You’re not describing empathy. It sounds like the person you’re responding to already knows how bad that outcome is which is why they’re against authoritarian law to begin with. You’re just more sympathetic towards people facing the consequences of their own decisions. Which is fine. But that crowd already used up all of mine over COVID. And climate change is just around the corner. Glad you still have some sympathy left to go around for leopard victims.

      It’s not time to be empathetic, it’s time for you fucking Americans to get mad. To riot against your rights being stripped.

      Their entire platform is to lack empathy, and they voted for it.

      I’m not gonna pretend to care about them, simply because they couldn’t care about anyone else.
