It's just interesting to me that Charlie Kirk of all people is causing a revolution in human empathy

There are so many other people who receive no empathy from much of the world, like the homeless, the mentally ill, illegal immigrants, the people of Gaza, Sudan, Afghanistan...even those in prison. Of course plenty of people DO have empathy for those people, but you're not going to see so many different people go out on a limb for them the way the world has rallied around Charlie Kirk, a man who himself was skeptical of empathy. By all means, feel empathy for people you disagree with. That is a good thing. But consider that it isn't just famous, opinionated people who deserve empathy. There are many people we see on a daily basis that we write off and dehumanize and that will continue to go under the radar, and may be much harder to feel real empathy for and to imagine their situations and lives.
