Jesus, this is a whole new level of both paranoia and a weird thing I've nicknamed "Hyperempathy" where people are being demanded to be empathetic about everything that any little thing or bit of awfulness in the world causes them to have a near breakdown.
I think the hyperempathy has another level of it.
They are told to feel super much about The Society and The World and such, while they can't function properly on a small scale. They have panic attacks about The Oppression of The World and Global Warming, while they can't be arsed to treat their immediate family and members of their community nicely or to practice little, logical things that would keep their environment a bit nicer.
Oh, they went to an Extinction Rebellion protest, but cooking at home and not buying shit premade and prepackaged, imported from exotic places is too much. They care about healthcare for the whole world, but they "don't have the spoons" to maybe walk a bit more, lose some weight and drink enough water.
You’re giving them waaaay too much credit. I bet this lady shrugs off the carbon footprint and slave labor behind all the electronics she’s used to broadcast this insane video.
What you call 'hyperempathy' is just narcissism. "Look at me guys, I'm so great I totally care about everyone but myself because I'm so awesome. Congratulate me on how great I am guys because I care about literally everyone." When in reality they couldn't give a flying fuck about anyone but themselves and completely forget what they were faking their tears about as soon as they get off social media.
They think they do, they like to pretend they do, and they envision their moralistic philosophy to be based on empathy.
In practice, however, their journey has resulted in them killing off all sense of empathy in order to survive.
When you see videos like this understand that they aren't made to showcase anything. They're made to gain social credit. It's a bit of performance art they put on to advance themselves. If tomorrow the powers-that-be decided that oh actually ACB is great now you'd see girls like this immediately pivot and come out fully in favor of her pretending that they never did stuff like this crying video.
Realistically I find that it's those and the right that are both more sympathetic and empathetic.

Being hyper concerned about Orange/White Man Bad and global warming is a way of avoiding personal responsibilities and failures.
They also cling to all their self diagnosed ailments as a shield against having to take responsibility for their own failures in life.

You're a bit off.
Leftists don't have empathy.
