@Altruest my life philosophy is; act like everyone is caked in a thick layer of dust, and if you aggravate them, they will shake off all the dust and make a dusty mess. why would you want to be covered in dust? just stop aggravating dust

@Altruest In practice, marginalized people end up bearing the brunt of the responsibility of “being good to each other” and “having empathy.”

@Altruest you do not need empathy you to have mercy

@Altruest Empathy is really hard for some people though. Good thing though: you don't need empathy to be good to each other. But describing it as "not hard" isn't right either.

@Altruest it is hard, in a sense. It takes deliberate effort. It’s not complicated. Like training for a half marathon. It’s simple but still difficult.

@Altruest
That's really not what empathy is or what it does. Empathy will make you want to wipe abusive people off the planet faster than any other force on earth.

@Altruest oh stop already ...beer is the answer to all

@Altruest can i not be good to others without empathy?
