Following objective moral principles requires lack of interest (as in the categorical imperative)? Is empathy necessarily interest-producing, or is that sympathy?

Whenever people are behaving according to moral principles/social justice/equality they become radically terrible human beings, and demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of the one they judge. Whatever process in the brain does one shuts down the other.

I see what you're saying. But how can you identify a terrible human being with no moral principles of your own?

Postulate: There are no crimes that are not also violations of empathy. But there many moral acts which are violations of empathy.

Yet isn't giving such significance to empathy basically creating a sort of moral principle?

Kantian morals, and all other artificial systems are escape tactics from one's actual moral duty to think.
