My sister once told my mom that empathy is what's ruining this country. It's not even like it was a misinterpretation/misunderstanding, that's almost word for word how she said it. I can't fathom how someone comes to that line of thinking.

To me it feels like social darwinism mentality - the belief that helping the weak survive weakens the herd. AKA "hard choices".

The problem is that's actually the opposite of how that works. If you refuse to care for the weak in your community, you foster this atmosphere of sociopathy and mistrust that causes the group to destroy itself.

Why the hell do you think there are only two Sith in Star Wars?
