      Why are alt-right people celebrating attention from Clinton? It's their death-knell, like when posers take fringe fashion trends mainstream

      they are paying for their laziness in not separating themselves philosophically from the ugly side. I don't have much sympathy.

      yes you are integrated with your tribe and have received the signal to identify the Other. Removal of potential for empathy is goal.

      Speak to your own tribalized thought patterns. Some people actually try thinking before joining, not other way around

      and once joined no premise checked. Huge slice of the population not deserving of sympathy much less empathy. Maybe some think more.

          uncritical assumptions that pain visible and comprehensible to *you* deserves sympathy/empathy reveals your up examined politics.

          I am merely asking you to have sympathy for tens of millions of your countrymen. Do you presume that makes me one of them?

          What you're NOT asking is who the other millions are, from whom such empathy is expected, and how much they have to give

      Loading seems to be taking a while.
