This applies to everyone, not just Stallman. You can't expect people to feel empathy for everyone in a world as connected as ours, it would be overwhelming.

- mentat 15y agoThe empathy necessary to imagine the state of mind of someone who has just lost someone that they looked up to is not really that deep. You're laying out a straw man here. I'm not saying that people are required to have empathy with everyone. Nonetheless it's not unrealistic to expect some for a relatively common situation (death).
