There is nothing wrong with empathy! But empathy is by itself not a good moral guide. Empaths are often manipulative narcissists. Fascism used empathy to synchronize norms.

What about cognitive empathy? What you're calling empathy I'd call sympathy.

I don't think that empathy requires sympathy. It also works while being neutral or even sadistic.

important to distinguish btw understanding an emotional state (empathy) vs understanding a problem (often the cause of the emotional state). conflating the two can cause placation or further exacerbate the source of the negative emotional state. one can have empathy wo compassion

If you take a /typical/ person and increase their empathy they become more compassionate (which is why it makes sense for the words to be associated). Evidence can be seen in other less intimate forms of increased knowledge of others + compassion increase.
