What leftists describe as "empathy" or "compassion" is really narcissism: the feeling of being a "good person" and having power over the putative victims they so solicitously help.

The tell is that there is no reconsideration when their "empathy" causes harm to the people it’s directed to.

If they actually cared and were just misguided, they would go "Oh shit, turns out defunding the police leads to lots and lots more black people being shot." Or pick another out of literally hundreds of examples. But they never, ever, ever do.

The other tell is the total lack of interest in other perspectives.

Imagine this: "I meant well, but I guess most Hispanics don’t want to be called LatinX, and since I believe in centering BIPOC voices…"

Nope, never. Not once.

And again, it’s not just that they disagree, which would be legitimate and human. It’s that it doesn’t even register for them. Because for them, it’s all about me-me-me and the theater inside their own head where they are a white knight.

In many ways they’re the prototype of the abusive parent, which is why the acme of lib brain is Munchausen by Proxy where you castrate your own child. For their own good, you see.

The deranged Munchausen By Proxy trans mom is just the micro version of how they see all problems. Munchausen By Proxy Government.

The point here is not the vaguely policy-related word salad, it’s that AOC is so TIRED and STRESSED. It’s the first thing she mentions, it’s what she cares a
bout, it’s what she wants you to know, about HER.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Tired of having to collectively stress about what explosion of hate crimes is happening bc some billionaire with an ego problem unilaterally controls a massi
ve communication platform and skews it because Tucker Carlson or Peter Thiel took him to dinner and made him feel special

Guess what Tucker Carlson never talks about on his show? Himself.

George Takei
There’s much talk these days of what being a man entails. I’m more of a man than someone like Tucker Carlson will ever be because I have experienced grave in
justice yet chosen the path of compassion, truth and forgiveness. It’s a quiet strength he’ll never know.
