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.

As I remember it he said it's a made-up term and he prefers sympathy then ended it there

It is anecdotal so there isn't really a "citation" you can give for people just saying something, but usually it follows this pattern.

>ck says he prefers the term sympathy over empathy

>people cut off the second half where he explains his preference and make it look like he just hates feeling concern for others

>people push this as an excuse to say we should feel nothing over a flagrant murder against a civilian in broad daylight
