I just saw a post saying compassion is a conviction and lacking compassion is a bad thing while lacking empathy is not. No you're not defending neurodivergent people here, you're doing the same as the "empathy is what makes us human" people but towards people who lack compassion 💀
Empathy (whatever the type), sympathy, compassion, pity, remorse, and care are all traits someone can have or lack. No it doesn't mean someone is shitty if them lack one, multiple, or all those traits.
If you want to support people who lack empathy, don't push down people lacking other traits in the process. Either you accept people lacking all the traits I said or you shut the fuck up.
The poster also said something like "the right-wong party is evil and lack compassion" and "the left-wing party is built on compassion" like if some political parties have anything to do with some traits someone have—most of the time—no control over.
