Selective Empathy makes no sense


"I am an empath.", they say.

How many times have you seen or heard this in the internet? Hands up, come on, be brave.

I have seen people BOAST about being 'empaths', and then trying to gain victims status this way. They have no limits when it comes to gaining any sort of social power, especially victim status.

Now, empathy is a weird thing, isn't it? People seem to have COMPARTMENTALIZED it so perfectly. Absolutely shocked, if someone kicks a dog or a cat, or starves a horse to death. HOW CAN THEY BE SO CRUEL?

Same individual goes straight to home/restaurant and eats animal flesh that has been tortured way worse before brutally murdering and often cutting its body when they're still alive, hanging from some metal hook by their leg (seen this in a video - watch 'Meet your Meat' for more info).

Has no problem with animal cruelty, if the animal is a cow, turkey, chicken, pig, and so on. Or even a horse that has been made into glue or sausage, because it happens somewhere far away from their eyes.

So, if I take your dog and put it through the same slaughterhouse mechanism millions of cows already have so you can eat your 'medium rare', and then eat your dog's muscles, you would be shocked. But you won't be shocked if it's ... just some other animal?

Look, either you are against animal cruelty, or you aren't. Either it's SHOCKING what cruel people do to animals, or it isn't. You can't be shocked about cats being boiled alive, but NOT be shocked about cow's stomachs being cut open while they're also still alive.

Either both are horrible, or neither is.

I bet these self-proclaimed 'empaths' have NO qualms about cruelty to turkeys and cows, the same way feminists have no problem with cruelty to women and not letting women use human rights, vote, drive cars, etc.

You see, feminists are no different form these flesh-ripping 'empaths' - they also have compartmentalized and narrowed their empathy and caring about women only to a certain TYPE of women.

Feminists are shocked, if white, fat, lazy, dyke bulldog hags with no talent don't get to be CEOs, they are ABSOLUTELY raging about THAT 'inequality'. They CARE about these women!

But if an innocent 16-year old woman has ACID thrown to her face, that is NOT problematic, feminists don't care, they encourage that, because they can't be insensitive to islamists.

If a young, pretty woman is FORCED to wear a bag over their head with only tiny slit for their eyes, that is not a problem, because those women live far away, and have a different skin color. Those women are arabs, so they are the WRONG type of women.

Another type of women feminists DON'T care about, is stay-at-home housewives and mothers. Single mothers, yes. Family mothers, no. Heck, feminists hate housewives more than white, heterosexual men!

So all this caring and raging about rights, women, animal cruelty, etc. is HEAVILY selective, and very compartmentalized. Cruelty to cat, SHOCKING! Even worse cruelty to cow, delicious.

Western ugly hag-type swamp monsters from the Black Lagoon not getting CEO job immediately when they are born? INJUSTICE and PATRIARCHY and OPPRESSION and GLASS CEILING!

A young, beautiful teenager woman being RRPD, beaten up and having acid thrown to her face for daring to glance at some man she wasn't supposed to, and then keeping the rest of her kind in big, heavy bags so no one can even see what they look like? Perfectly wonderful culture, why should feminists care about THESE type of women.

So you can only care about the right type of animal/women, the rest can go to hell (and do), and the world is all the better for it.

Is there any limit to feminist or so-called 'empath' hypocrisy?

Shouldn't empathy and compassion encompass (no pun intended) ALL that can feel pain, at least enough to keep them from experiencing said pain (let alone murder and torture and acid in the face)?

Apparently not, if you comparmentalize your compassion to match the SJW caring trends. This way, you can VIRTUE SIGNAL that you are the best human possible, while still enjoying the benefits of patriarcy and animal cruelty - after all, they're not western women that are bagged and acidified, they are not cats or dogs that are brutally and bloodily murdered and hacked to slices without any mercy.

They are the 'wrong type', so we don't have to care about THOSE.

Isn't this weird and hypocritical? How can empathy or compassion EVER be selective and compartmentalized, if it's real?

Why are people like this? Why not feel empathy for ALL women and ALL animals, instead of splitting animals you HAVE to care about and others that you CAN'T care about or you could not eat in that fancy restaurant and thus show all the other chickens that you are the queen of the flock..?

It's sickening, I tellsya... selective empathy - find ONE individual that does not practice this, and I will show you a half-demon that secretly does.

BEWARE! Avortac4 is a troll trying to waste everyone's time with such idiotic comments. Look at his posts. He doesn't think anything in any film makes sense. His post may seem like it makes sense in the first sentence or two. But he always quickly wanders off into a completely idiotic idea, and then writes a wall of text that makes no sense. And his sole purpose is to waste your time, thinking he's cute for doing so. Don't feed the troll. If you write a comment, you're giving this troll EXACTLY what he wants. Don't comment after my comment.
