Guessing sympathy had to many connections to the devil, but to my understanding the word is more used to understand the actions of an member of out group without further requiring to sympathies with them, and understanding an enemy is required in order to help predict their actions and break points, right? Or are you saying that we require the dehumanization to be at such a level that their cannot be any understanding?
Empathy is effeminate bullshit about shared emotions. Rejecting empathy as a concept doesn't mean a disregard for the motivations of an external enemy. I can readily understand the CCP without having to share their emotional state, which is impossible.
I see, yes with that understanding of the term, I agree with your assessment.
Empathy is, and always has been, explicitly the vicarious feeling of the emotions another. It's meant to engender a subversive out group preference, as a person will overlay their own emotions onto another and mistake themselves for the other.
