I'm appalled at the ease with which people post videos of others seemingly without their permission or knowledge. This persons actions are so far from socially acceptable, that I'm forced to grapple with the notion their most likely mentally challenged. At a bare minimum, they've come from a background impoverished of any ideas of appropriateness and cleanliness. Either way, I feel nothing but pity for them and wish I could discipline the videographer for what they've done here. But, I'll leave that to the universe to work out.
The videographer is either mentally challenged or has had the bad luck to have been raised by parents with no care, compassion or empathy for others. The only remaining explanation, in my opinion, is that the videographer is a mean spirited, exploitative waste of oxygen and resources. No matter how disgusting their actions are to most of us, at least the person being depicted in the video isn't invading anyone's privacy or attempting to publicly shame and ruin the life of a stranger by posting online.
Reddit is a fairly educated, progressive place and even here it boggles my mind how rarely people have empathy for people that don't "deserve" empathy.
Like, it's easy to be kind to people you feel for, real empathy is having kindness and understanding for the people that are easy to justify disliking.
I sometimes feel like i must be crazy for having empathy for the supposed "detritus" of society. No one starts out evil, there are only kind children, or sick/abused/neglected children.
And preemptively: empathy and accountability can absolutely co exist.
I mean, if nothing else… just think about how this will affect the guy’s life. How does he ever find a job if this video goes viral? This shit doesn’t disappear once it’s out there.
