Just wow. To paraphrase
"I don't care about other peoples suffering."
"I do care about oil. This doesn't really effect oil tho."
Conclusion:
"So I don't need to care about any of this, and I don't"
Observation:
You might be a person who literally only cares about things that directly effect them. You might want to have that looked into.

- thrower123 7y agoIf I had a dollar for every time somebody called me a psychopath for not being a bleeding heart, I'd have... oh, a few dollars. Sometimes it's just time to cut bait.
- pennaMan 7y agoHow about breeding a brand new generation of people who have good reason to deeply hate the US? Does that directly affect you?
- freddybobs 7y agoI didn't call you a psychopath, but seems like it's something on your mind. Lack of empathy is a defining trait. If you find yourself on occasion wondering if you are, or other people pointing out that you might be, that certainly doesn't mean that you are. More likely you've post hoc created a narrative and justification of 'don't care'. That doesn't make it better - arguably worse. The psychopath has an excuse. 'Bleeding heart' - yeah nice one. That must be it.
