    My sister once told my mom that empathy is what’s ruining this country. It’s not even like it was a misinterpretation/misunderstanding, that’s almost word for word how she said it. I can’t fathom how someone comes to that line of thinking.

      To me it feels like social darwinism mentality - the belief that helping the weak survive weakens the herd. AKA “hard choices”.
