Don't Call It Empathy

I respectfully disagree with Helen Roy. While I agree with her that what we’ve seen the past 3 years was not virtuous, I saw an astounding lack of empathy.
What I saw instead—all over (anti)social media was vanity. They loved to talk about how considerate and kind they were. How much empathy they possessed. But their comments showed they had no love or compassion for those who suffered.
“We’ve got to make sacrifices,” the collectivists said. Meaning they would sacrifice other people’s possessions, livelihoods, and wellbeing.
They took all their moral cues from celebrities and media people. And it was motivated by the desire to look good.
Long before the precious clot shot came out, they had been mocking the suffering of others and wishing death on the lonely, those afraid of losing their livelihoods and homes.
I pointed out to one on Gab how all she cared about was looking kind. But it was a hollow display. Demanding people get shots that you know may kill them is not compassionate and shows a stunning lack of empathy.
Not just about freedom. The Covidians demand I take a shot that may cripple or kill me just for their placebo effect.
By the way, a lot of these offenders were image obsessed, status conscious members of my own sex. When younger they were the pretentious blonde Barby doll types. Plastic through and through.
Just like their plastic empathy. No compassion for the people they helped harm.
Even now, I hear stories online about family and former friends demanding someone take the shot even after hearing how it crippled or almost killed them. No doubt they desperately want to be called “kind,” “considerate,” and full of “empathy.”
But an extreme desire to be admired by many is not empathy. It’s lust of the eyes. Vanity is the real vice.
If you want to get a vaxx zealot to leave you alone, just point out their lack of empathy or concern about anyone else in public. Especially if a large number are there who also can see through her bovine excrement.
It’s especially good if she says she hopes you die and you call her a hypocrite and pretentious virtue signaller while others laugh. Revealing who they really are is the ultimate punishment for a narcissist. No wonder they love masks!
I've been reading lots of unempathetic comments about people who are suffering and have died after taking the covid jabs. I don't understand the gloating. I get it that gloating over the suffering of others is an individual choice. I don't argue with people who take that stance. I realize that I could have made bad decisions myself that could have scarred me for many years or even for a lifetime. Or even brought about a premature death on my part.
I still believe by the grace of God that if more people would learn to love and become more receptive to the truth about all things. God can heal their bodies whether covid jabbed or not. No doubt here though that as long as people choose to believe the lies they're told about everything. Well keep hearing about more disastrous health outcomes from the covid jabbed and non-covid jabbed individuals alike. There is no way to my knowledge that toxins or carcinogens can heal the body, or prevent diseases. And unless people choose to get that insight. I truly don't see much hope for their physical or mental health.
I get your points about people exposing their ignorance through being pathological liars about everything. And some of them seem to be on a life-long mission to drag as many people as far down or farther to their level of evil, ungodliness, malice, hatred and hatefulness. I think I may have gotten and a little off topic on your post. I got on that rant because we are really seeing more than ever how deceitful and malicious lots of people are.
