I Just Can't Wrap My Head Around How Some People Lack Empathy

The image displays four consecutive tweets from David Roberts @volts.wtf, each timestamped and showing engagement metrics. The first tweet, posted 27 minutes ago, reads: 'She asked for kindness & mercy & the entire right experienced it as a grave insult. They're not faking it either -- the idea that they should be empathetic, care about other, lesser people, really does upset them, at a gut level.' The subsequent tweets discuss the pandemic's roots in rage over empathy, authoritarian personalities rejecting solidarity, and the anger provoked by a pastor's plea for mercy. The text is overlaid on a screenshot of the Twitter interface with the user's profile picture visible.
