    Remember one of the last things Charlie Kirk was preaching: that empathy itself was a sin.

      Elon Musk has also made such statements and Donald Trump demonstrates that beleif every day. For people who are incredibly self absorbed or isolated or trapped by the threat of being powerful, empathy might genuinely seem like a bad thing. But nobody who is part of a community of reciprocity would experience empathy that way, it is the glue that binds people together. That is an experience Trump and Musk have probably never had.
