They do, but they also perform double speak to counter their hypocrisy. They’re rather famous for doing it.

I’m not saying you have to treat them with kindness. I am saying you have to reckon with the fact that they are still human. Or you will be doomed to follow the same path.

I recognize what happened to them was wrong and shouldn’t have happened, but I am glad it wasn’t a person of better moral character to be the victim.

I don’t believe they are the same species as me. They have devolved to the point where their brains lack empathy, a distinctly human trait.

Is empathy only a human trait? Doubtful. Animals have been known to show empathy as well. Humans aren’t all that special, we’ve just learned to fuck over everything else on the planet.
