Here's a statement Charlie Kirk made about empathy: "I hate the word empathy, actually. It's a made-up new age word and it's done a lot of damage."

Hard to believe that someone that the right wing is calling a saint made that statement.

Agreed.

Like Trump, himself, this "sin of empathy" is such a litmus test for me. For me...that whole concept is simply and clearly man's attempt to justify unloving actions that pretty much add up to "doing whatever the hell you want to and having a built-in excuse not have guilt or remorse about it".

How's that for some truth?
