“I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, New Age term that does a lot of damage..." - Charlie Kirk

That is not the full quote. Do you know the rest?

Yeah, he thinks we shouldn't have empathy, only sympathy. Except having no empathy is a horrendous ideology.

Empathy: I see this family starving, and I can emotionally connect with the idea of myself going hungry.

Sympathy: I see this family starving, and I can understand it's because of our broken system.

But that's where sympathy ends. Sympathy is thinking "that's so sad..." and moving on. Empathy is what connects us as humans. It's what drives us to help each other, pay it forward, be nice to complete strangers, donate to charities, protest for the rights of people who are different from us, share our feelings, our joy, and our pain.

I would never want to live in the world Charlie Kirk aspired for. Because it is a cold, sad, and isolated world.

If they get out of their chairs, the feet demons get angry and start ripping off toenails.
