      "I don't know how to explain to you that you should care about other people", in tweet form.

      As someone with a (frankly, probably a bit *too* strong and uncontrolled) sense of empathy, I admit I fundamentally *do not grasp* a lot of these people. Unless you *actively hate someone* (an emotion that I really only first felt, oh, about 4 years ago), HOW CAN YOU NOT CARE?!

      (And I do mean 'a bit to strong', because I catch it firing off towards people who really, rreeeallyyy don't. Deserve it. Or, at least, when there are way better focuses of my energy.)

      "Oh no, that man is sad and scared he's ruined his life ;.;" "Empathy that man is literally a neonazi who participated in a rally that killed people." "But he's so scared" "NO. BAD EMPATHY, NO BISCUIT." (.. thank you, Pratchett, for teaching me metacognition)

      This is why Kate Manne coined the term "himpathy" Empathy in its crudest form is a kneejerk impulse to take the side of anyone whose pain you can easily see right in front of you And our society is not at all evenhanded in whose pain it makes visible

      You have a much higher chance of hearing about it somehow when a privileged white man stubs his toe than hearing about any other suffering anywhere else in the world

      Hell there are privileged white men whose whole JOB is going "Let me use my Ivy League training and connections to write at great length about the experience of me stubbing my toe to make it sound like it contains valuable insights into the whole human condition"

      And then a bunch of kids HAVE TO READ "Ow! I Stubbed My Toe: A Reflection" by Henry McWhiteBoy Crackerson, think about it and digest it and then write a whole paper on it, so they can pass their freshman English class and get a BA for a chance at a decent job

      I'm joking, of course, it's not usually "Ow! I Stubbed My Toe", it's "Ow! I Cheated On My Wife With an Undergrad" or something

      but said cheating is accompanied by an endless retelling of the guilt and self-hatred occasioned by getting his nut with a 23 year-old student from Chevy Chase or Scarsdale

          This is hilarious, and a pretty mild interpretation of the entitlement expressed by these tomes, IMO. "I was cancelled by my book club and now I know how the Jews felt in 1941"

          This is a crime to an entitled white man. And I say that as an entitled white man.
