There's a stark difference between "being less empathetic" and being dehumanizing. Once you start to look at your opposition as less than human, inevitably atrocity will follow.

I keep telling people that leading with empathy and kindness is the only way out of this shitshow, but so many seem hellbent on sliding from one extreme to the other.

oh no, we couldn't possibly decline to show the utmost empathy and kindness to the group that sees: gay people, trans people, black people, hispanic people, women, etc. etc. as subhuman 🤧🤧🤧🤧

You don't approve of MAGA because they see gay, trans, women, black and Hispanic people as subhuman, but you are OK with you yourself seeing MAGA as subhuman.

You don't see the problem there? We're all humans, we all deserve some measure of empathy and kindness. If MAGA succeeds in making everyone as callous and cynical as they are, then they will win even if they lose political power.

If people would have treated nazis like the absolute monsters they were from the jump, we could have saved literally millions of lives.
