I'll be completely honest here, I treat my empathy like a finite resource, similar to power supply in RTS games I only have so much available before I can't do anything (so become a leftist)
My empathy is limited to family, friends (and even then to those I can actually rely on) kids and pets. After that I don't give a fuck unless you prove to me you're willing to put some effort in.
Conservative-leaners USED to have incredible amounts of sympathy. Until the Obama era demonized them for the color of their skin, and their ability for self-reliance.
Your brain can't care about 300 million people. It's literally impossible to actually care about them as individuals. You can care about them as a group like caring about how the country is doing, but you can't care about every singe person all the time. It's fucking insane what lefties demand.
What peeves me is that people keep mixing up "empathy" with "approval" or even "enablement". It's a very leftoid (or, more precisely, feminine - shut the fuck up, Imp) way of thinking, and they've been doing it for so long that everyone thinks that's the meaning. But it isn't.
Empathy simply means being able to see things from another person's perspective. I can do that often enough, it's not an issue for me. But it doesn't automatically follow that after I've seen a problem from someone else's point of view, I agree with their proposed solution. Most people are incredibly stupid, and some people are outright evil, and that's their perspective. I can see why someone who's been gooning it up to increasingly deranged porn every day for the last decade wants to dress up as a lot lizard and have unsupervised access to small children. That doesn't mean I'm willing to be all "aww, he's not evil, he just really, really wants to be balls deep in a five year old!".
I can only see things from another perspective for a limited time with certain people. Like I can do that with leftists but it makes me angry and bitter afterwards like I dipped mt head in corruption and I'm having a violent reaction to it.
At most it allows me to play devil's advocate for a while compared to when I try to see things from a kids perspective like when I was helping a friends daughter with her math homework (because I'm decent with math) I can easily see how they got a few things wrong so tailor my responses so she can easily figure the answer out herself.
Because moving towards the left has been going great. Division is at an all time high, economy is going to shit, personal freedom is under attack, we have drag queen parading in front of kids and even kids being encouraged to be drag queens, we are encouraging child mutilation, large cities are ignoring crime in the name of equity, we have the FBI and the legal system targeting political dissidents, open borders and out of control immigration, anti-white racism is being celebrated by the government and private sector, we have a media that instead of keeping the ruling party at bay they keep the population at bay.
Did I miss anything? When exactly will this great "improvement" start?
To Build Back Better, they obviously need to Reset how things currently are, as people would accept going from good to bad to good again more easily, than just going straight from equality good to equity "good".

you're right, there's nothing bad about advocating for societal improvement.
that's not what you're doing.
There is everything bad about advocating for making society worse though.
