Leftists actually have little empathy because if they truly understood how others thought then they would care less about those people. A leftist imagines others as exactly like himself (equal) which shows a genuine lack of empathy.

Exactly. They believe they completely understand how they would feel if they were born in a tree-house in Borneo, but they only project themselves into that situation, with their wants, their needs, their education, their standards, their beliefes and their world-view. "I couldn't live without my iPhone, so how could they?" In reality they can't even understand their lifelong neighbour who voted for Trump.

It's why they keep voting in 3rd-world migrants who hate everything that means anything to them. Because they believe that deep down everyone is like them.

Maybe, but if I was to comment more, it would make me look like even more of an instigator. I'm way past being a centrist.

Having said that, I agree that the environment shapes the evolution of the people living in it, which is why we should just keep to ourselves and let the rest of the world sort itself out. We never should have intervened in Africa in any way. Sending them food and resources has not changed the Africans one little bit. It just made things worse, because now there's way more of them than there would have been otherwise.
