Comment on Of course there is.
MTZ@lemmy.world 12 hours agoI never thought about it but I had a friend many years back that went on a several months long crystal meth and heroin bender, fell into deep psychosis, was hospitalized, and got clean after a while. He remained much, much more conservative, right wing, and libertarian than he was before he went on the bender. Before he was basically a militant anarchist.

Fetterman became conservative after his stroke, too.
I think it may be possible to damage the brain in a way that makes empathy harder.

Fetterman was conservative before, we just didn’t want to see it.
