i'd argue that unbridled compassion is what the forces of darkness are using to bring western civilisation to its knees

compassion/empathy must always be tempered with logic

That's looking at things from half way.  I didn't say just empathy on our side, did I?

That was a very Christian oriented answer too.  You completely ignored the notion of empathy from all sides and only applied it to western civilizations.

well i'm saying that at this point in time, more empathy is not needed, what is needed now from my perspective is reason and if we can't do so the consequences will be dire in my view

"I didn't say just empathy on our side, did I?"

empathy is inherently polarised... it is always mediated by a preference, because people always value some things more than other things or are in other words subjective in their views

for example, how much empathy do you have for a male sexual harasser?
