    This isn’t the god damn care bears. Empathy is not going to fix this problem. Voting is the only thing that will. If pointing that out makes me an asshole then I’ll happily accept that label. It’s better than whatever fatalistic psychotherapeutic nonsense you’re trying to peddle. Actions solve problems, not good vibes. Pull your head out of your ass.

      empathy is just the start; it’ll help you realize why things are fucked and you can take meaningful action from there.

      i used to be like you and it wasn’t until the anti-gay, anti-immigrant and anti-student laws fucked my life hard that i developed that sense of empathy that i’m imploring you to develop before things get worse for all of us.
