(25,420 posts)Without empathy, the entire human race would be living a "dog eat dog" existence.
Every interaction with another human would be a question of "fuck, eat or kill".
This is the world that the Trumps, the Musks, the Epsteins think they are living in.
Sadly, if they really were living in a "dog eat dog' world, these mutts would be at the bottom of the pecking order. The only way any of these asshats get taken seriously is because they were born rich and entitled. If they were born poor, they would likely be in jail or the morgue by now.

(3,067 posts)But I remember a story about how archaeologists would decide if any discovered group of human remains came from a tribe that was civilized .
If they found any healed femurs that had been broken a few years before the persons death, then they were part of a civilized people. A person with a broken femur cannot do much day to day until they are healed. Therefore, the group reached a decision that it was better to accept the short term loss instead of leaving them to die.
This is the hallmark of a civilized people.

(595 posts)USAID existed to help people in other nations. Right now it has been reported that people are starving to death due to the end of the USAID programs. But Elon Musk hated it because it helped the people of South Africa end apartheid. Musk grew up under apartheid and he liked life that way. It is why Musk called USAID "a terrorist organization."

(108,799 posts)And those four are - Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, and Jeff Bezos. These four disgusting men have GDP bankrupting wealth, and they just want more. And they have zero empathy for anybody who stands in their way. Fuck all of them, they all should be in prison.
