Ah, classic conservative "Its okay until it affects us, and now that it affects us its the most horrible thing in the world!"

I'll give the couple in the article this, I know many of the it's okay until it affects us types and none of them changed their voting habits

Classic conservative (and especially with "Christian" added onto that) = Severe lack of empathy

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

severe lack of empathy..for others

[–] ulkesh@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Empathy is inherently "for others".

I think by "others" they just meant outside of their immediate in-group.

Perspective is a bitch.

poor idiot think they got me in a gotcha, when all they are doing is revealing that they don't give a fuck about horrible shit until it happens to them.

straight to insults. classic hidden conservative tactic. thanks for calling me not only non human but also an idiot. this website saddens me sometimes. but not that much because i dont really care

Saddens me that people like you exist in society, coldly and sociopathicly indifferent to, if not actively complicit in, the suffering of their fellow humans until it personally affects you, and that you think its not only completely normal, but base human conduct.

but why concern yourself with others when you can project at others and clutch pearls.
