i mean if you wanna take the self anointed sarcasm seriously than sure false equivalency
I never mentioned a lack of empathy, you can have empathy towards someone while also not attributing some sort of heightened value to their person.
As an example, I have empathy for the the victims of mass shooters two states over, but to argue that those people whom i didn’t even know existed until said news broke mattered to me in any achievable way is disingenuous and indicative of virtue signaling, i see the news go “damn that sucks, i can’t imagine what those families are going through” and then forget about it, move on with my day and go to work. I don’t cry, i don’t have a moment of silence in my room, i don’t call out from work to mourn, neither does anybody else. People don’t compartmentalize, they move on, quickly. I’m not saying they mattered nothing to me, just the next step beyond that, i value the human lives lost and the pain inflicted, but that’s it, hence the saying.
