What's worse, not having empathy, or cynically deploying empathy such that it causes people to lose faith in it?

If your empathy is based on what others say or do, you have no empathy.

Ok, but that doesn't answer my question.

It does. If you don't want it to that is up to you.

Let's try this again.

What's worse: not having empathy, or destroying someone else's empathy?

How exactly do you destroy someone's empathy?

 

[TwoPunnyFourWords]

How exactly do you destroy someone's empathy?

By making it conditional.

And btw, I don't believe I've ever seen you display empathy for the right, so it looks like you don't have empathy, according to your own argument.

What would that even look like? how would you know I do not have empathy for people of a certain political leaning?

How would you know people have "zero fucking empathy"?

Or would you rather I not follow your lead?

When people use others tragedies' to make a political point or try push a narrative. Its very fucking simple.

Ok, I define that as "cynically deploying empathy such that it causes others to lose faith in it", I find it's a very common behaviour.

Anyway, you seem to imply that I am wrong, so could you tell me in what ways you show empathy towards the political right?

That is having zero fucking empathy.

You made the claim, I asked what that would look like and how you would know.

If you do not know how one shows empathy, then it seems that you couldn't be in a position to judge whether or not someone has empathy; I should not need to answer this question for you in order for you to answer the question that preceded it. Since I apparently do not know what empathy is by virtue of it being strange to me, how could I give you an answer in any case?

All you had to say was you cannot. You are claiming things I did not.

 

[TwoPunnyFourWords]

All you had to say was you cannot. You are claiming things I did not.

If you cannot show me how you detect empathy, I have no reason to believe your claims about how much of it someone does or does not have.

So you did actually claim it implicitly, whether you can acknowledge it or not.

And therein lies the rub, methinks, because it looks like you've been hoisted by your own petard.

Again you made a claim I asked to prove it you cannot, so now you are trying to shift the topic to shy away from your mistake.

Answer the simple question or move on.

I guess you don't know how Socratic irony works. Oh well. Sux2bu.

Sure it was.

 

[TwoPunnyFourWords]

Sure it was.

Did I adopt a position of ignorance and thereby demonstrate that you couldn't possibly know the thing you claimed? Sure did.

Did you try to deflect back onto me when your own ignorance was revealed? Sure did.
