    Either they’re moral agents, in which case they’re evil, or they’re just animals.

    If they’re evil we should not be empathetic.

    If they’re mere animals, we should be empathetic.

    You want the latter, right?

        These “people” are trying to destroy the planet, where I live, and you’re upset that in their greedy rapacious behavior they’ve caused their own houses to flood… And I’m not sufficiently empathetic to them for doing that? They’re trying to kill me. These are my mortal enemies! What empathy do you think these monsters deserve?

        Unless of course they’re helpless animals, like bears following their instincts.

        It’s like a rapist who accidentally shoots himself in the dick instead of his victim and then you chastise us that we’re not empathetic to the rapist.

            I don’t. But the vast majority of these people are the perpetrators of this catastrophe, not its victims. Meat eating, truck driving, science denying assholes getting what they deserve.

        Humans can be blamed for doing evil things. These people eat meat. They torture billions of innocent fellow creatures to death annually to satiate their gluttony causing global warming which has now washed away their dwellings. What is the correct response from me? You want me to feel bad?
