60% of violent criminals are re-imprisoned for new crimes within just a few years of their release
Shallow empathy prioritizes the criminal over their victims
Deep empathy prioritizes victims over the criminal
Beware the empathy exploit.
Empathy is good and right when thought through (deep), but can be deadly to civilization when simply stimulus-response (shallow).
For example, releasing a repeat violent offender may feel good at first (shallow empathy for the criminal), but it is wrong to do so when that person will go on to hurt or murder innocent victims, as there should be deep empathy for future victims.
We should have much lower tolerance for the nepo-baby communists
They might seem too incompetent to be dangerous, but they are re-popularizing the most dangerous ideology of all time
100,000,000 people were killed by communists in the 20th century
This is what happens every time communists gain critical power
