No problem - debate/discussion is good.
I’ll concede it’s a stretch, but I think there’s lots of empathy for people in dire situations - you only have to look in here at LFGSS members, most are openly empathetic and those who come across curmudgeonly (looks at shoes) are deep down empathetic people. I think that can be extrapolated to wider society: most people are good at heart.
But fair - it’s the state that needs to be empathetic and there’s room for improvement!
Education - well it’s free in this country, for starters. And then, I can’t speak for others but can’t be the only one, but any time I hear some bollocks about a minority group being to blame for society’s ills - rather than a decade of neglect by the state - I offer an alternative (read: correct) view and try to educate.
I can’t be the only person who does this.
Some will listen; some will not; some will riot at the first opportunity.
Unless we’re talking at cross purposes?
We’ve tried empathy and education for years. It’s a waste of time.
