Less than 10 days after Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida, the state is bracing for another potentially devastating blow from a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, this one a potential Category 3 storm.
It’s the ability to say, if this were me this would suck. If this were me I would be devastated and even though the consequences are of my own making I wouldn’t mind if someone lent me a hand.
These “people” are trying to destroy the planet, where I live, and you’re upset that in their greedy rapacious behavior they’ve caused their own houses to flood… And I’m not sufficiently empathetic to them for doing that? They’re trying to kill me. These are my mortal enemies! What empathy do you think these monsters deserve?
Unless of course they’re helpless animals, like bears following their instincts.
It’s like a rapist who accidentally shoots himself in the dick instead of his victim and then you chastise us that we’re not empathetic to the rapist.
I don’t. But the vast majority of these people are the perpetrators of this catastrophe, not its victims. Meat eating, truck driving, science denying assholes getting what they deserve.
Humans can be blamed for doing evil things. These people eat meat. They torture billions of innocent fellow creatures to death annually to satiate their gluttony causing global warming which has now washed away their dwellings. What is the correct response from me? You want me to feel bad?
Thanks for this not insightful look into mental gymnastics.
I think my argument is fairly solid. Your demand for pity pretty much requires me to treat them like helpless animals.
I’m open to change my mind on this.
It’s not pity. It’s empathy. It’s what you lack.

Either they’re moral agents, in which case they’re evil, or they’re just animals.
If they’re evil we should not be empathetic.
If they’re mere animals, we should be empathetic.
You want the latter, right?
Empathy isn’t reserved for only animals. I’m talking with a child.

How can you know that about every single person in the path of a hurricane.

I’ll refer you to one of my earlier comments. Waste of time.
