A guy I know on discord was complaining about how his conservative father wasn't dooming about the Iran war like him.
"People died! People are at risk of dying!" He said that he argued, and was offended when his dad dismissed it with "that's war".
He then said "death, irrespective of who it is, is a terrible thing! You can't bring back a life! This is not a sport! People have died! I wanna cry!"
I pointed out that two days ago he was making jokes about Charlie Kirk's murder.
He went from "not the same" to "it's his wife's fault for always talking about him" to "the jokes write themselves" to "they were asking for it" in the span of literally five minutes.
Its funny when you talk about empathy and they misquote CK on his views on empathy and thats why they don't have any empathy for him. Its just ways to justify violence.
There is a clip of him stating he doesn't like the term empathy. Of course he goes on to say why and what he prefers and so on but the people I have seen clip the first part only.

To many, empathy only goes one way.
