Empathy is a powerful emotion.

I don't believe that empathy is an emotion

One which we should never risk suppressing.

Do you mean compassion

It's most certainly a feeling one has towards another

compassion, care, love, whatever you name it

Sympathy... all similar words, all feelings divorced from pragmatism

I can feel empathetic towards another

When oxytocin, the chemical that causes compassion, is increased it actually leads to warlike and tribal behavior

I'd like to ask for a citation

ah

in-group/out-group favoritism?

Altruism is game theoretic

And unconditional love for all people generally fails

Looking at it, it seems to benefit the in-group link

Reciprocity is a better goal for empathy

rather than damage opinions of an out-group

Also, they can both function side by side

Besides, in-group altruism can actually benefit out-groups

Primary/elementary is to teach kids to be good citizens and anything beyond is to teach skills to be good workers.

No government is truthful about the nature of the state to its children

its all dressed up in nonsense or not talked about at all

stop pinging u dicks

@Deleted User its qotd u dick

Neither. They should be critical thinkers trained also in the arts, whether it be letters, music or classical art. Educating worker drones leads to a huge creativity vacuum. Also, the focus in education today on obedience and memorization has left students today unable to think for themselves. Its created a society of easily-leds.

society has always been a group of easily leds

thats how this shit works, right? the few at the top rule the masses below.

Yeah of course, but the less trained in critical thinking the more easily they will fall for non-sense thinking such as gender fluidity and egalitarianism

Having a trained bullshit detector is key to keep society in place and avoid the elites creating distorted degeneracy

how is gender fluidity nonsense?

my bullshit detector is going off

Have you taken biology 101?

yes

Okay, then you know that gender fluid theory is ascientific and doesnt pass the smell test. Its absolute non-sense

no

it's not a proposal it's a thing that affects people

What?

gender fluidity is not some hypothesis

there are people that are gender fluid

Its psychological warfare. It sends people back into developmental mindsets where they question not only their identity but what even constitutes self. Its classic psychosexual warfare.
