    Empathy is not the opposite of standing up for yourself, though thinking so does explain a hell of a lot of leftist politics these days.

      Depends on the context of the situation in my opinion but I understand where you are coming from. I’ve found if someone has no empathy for me. I should not return the favor to them as they’ve shown their hand. Does that make me spiteful? Probably. But I really love the quote. “Listen when someone tells you who they are”. As you can tell I’m callous and don’t have empathy for billionaires or ultra rich.

      They didn’t say it was, that’s a logical fallacy.
