"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

We are just doing what he wanted.

No, you’re not. You’re being a ghoul. Charlie has a lot of empathy. You clearly don’t.

Okay maga freak. I really don't care about your feelings about a fascist

Did you read my comment? I don’t care how you feel about him, but he had a family. Like how would you feel if your lover got murdered and everyone was making fun of your lovers death?

But… he said empathy was a harmful concept. So, by lacking empathy for him, we are giving him the respect he would have wanted in life. And the respect he gave to leftists who were also subject to political violence. It’s only right, right?

It is a harmful concept if it leads to events like this. He was literally proven right.

I’m not saying have empathy for him, I don’t, but if my lover was murdered I wouldn’t want the internet to be making fun of them the day after. It’s disheartening to see how rude we are to people that we disagree with

If he was such a horrible person as Charlie he wouldn't be my loved one. Thousands of people die of violence, that he helped promote, every day... So no I really don't care about his family.

I never said your lover was charlie, just that your lover got murdered and everyone’s making fun of them. People love others for a multitude of reasons, why you love someone is irrelevant, what I’m saying is you wouldn’t be happy if the person you loved was murdered and then made fun of.

Again, like I said... I really don't care about his lover/wife... people are cheering every day when gay people, trans people or people of colour die.

I’m not cheering for anyone to die, no one deserves to be murdered. The fact that you can’t show empathy for someone else like his family just because you disagree with him is disheartening

u/Rich-Active-4800 3d ago

Right, he who only disagrees with my right to exist and live... how disheartening to not have empathy for his family that most likely share his view.

Half of his family is babies… you’re really hating on babies right now? Even then you don’t have to share someone’s view to like them. Even then it’s still another human losing their lover. I dont care who your lover is, what they believe, if you lost someone who meant a lot to you I would feel bad for you, if you lost your dog you would feel bad, why is a human any different? Just because you disagree?

Brain dead.

I am not hating on babies, I just don't care about them. Every horrible human has loved once. Hitler had loved once, do we need to be respectful to him because someone out there loved and cared for him? Why don't you worry about the actual children that are being murdered and prosecuted thanks to the things he said.

Also he is not just disagreeing. He literly want people like me to die.

This is a lie. The overwhelming social media posts that glorify death come from the left. Social media is overflowing with articles and references to people getting fired from their jobs for it.

What’s the rest of the quote?

5

u/Rich-Active-4800 3d ago

That is the quote

u/foggy_mind1 3d ago

No it’s not.

"The new communications strategy is not to do what Bill Clinton used to do, where he would say, "I feel your pain." Instead, it is to say, "You're actually not in pain." So let's just, little, very short clip. Bill Clinton in the 1990s. It was all about empathy and sympathy. I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage. But, it is very effective when it comes to politics. Sympathy, I prefer more than empathy. That's a separate topic for a different time."

But sure, keep sharing things out of context to fit your narrative.

Still doesn't make the quote better. Just confirms we need to have zero empathy for this asshole.

Your argument and the rest of the smooth brains on this sub and website is “We don’t have to have empathy because he didn’t believe in it” but in reality you’re just using the quote out of context to broadcast how shitty you are as a person.

u/Rich-Active-4800 3d ago

Oh no!!! The conservative thinks I am a shitty person.

Maybe look in the mirror

I hope one day all the hate in your heart dissipates
