The MSM is partially responsible for the lack of empathy.
Go to an Amish commune, be respectful, observe them. They have empathy. They care for each-other. Is it because they're religious? No. Lots of people show up to church twice a week and don't give a shit. Is it because they work hard? CEOs usually pull 14-16 hour days 7 days a week, but are disproportionately psychopaths.
It is because they aren't inundated with media. There was a mass shooting in my town a year ago. 1 dead, a half-dozen injured. Shooter dead too. So, no chance of it happening again, they dead. Guess what gets wall-to-wall coverage for WEEKS? Two less population in the city! Live! In! Fear! They didn't even usually distinguish that one was the murderer and therefore basically a life write-off, just "two dead in mass shooting". Everyone and anyone could be a shooter! At the same time, during those weeks, two people jumped off a bridge onto a highway. The only reason I know is I walk across that bridge and saw a small but tasteful flower arrangement and note each time. Media doesn't care about depressed or those in need of help. There's no profit for them in turning off your TV and instead going outside and socializing, making friends, building community bonds. The less bonds you have, the more you're glued to your TV, the more money they earn.
They WANT you to be afraid, to fear everyone else. And when you fear someone, you don't extend your empathy to them nearly as easily.
