#no sympathy

[siren--squid]

Anyways, support people with low/no empathy, sympathy, and/or compassion.

Those things are not required to be a good person, and nobody should feel like those things are a requirement in life.

A really dumb vent but tbh you don't have to feel empathy, guilt, sympathy, compassion, remorse, etc. to be a good person. You can feel none of these and still decide to do the right thing. In fact people who DO feel those things and STILL continue to do horrible things are worse imo.

Delay. Deny. Depose.

"But the CEO had a family!" You cry.

So did the people who died because their insurance claims were denied and he didn't care, so why should we?

Hey btw the human brain is super fucking complicated so everyone experiences things differently and lives differently, so stop calling others fakers for being different

And: Yes, I am referring to endogenic systems here. Yes, I am referring to people who use xenogenders. Yes, I am referring to people who struggle with empathy and sympathy. And yes, I am referring to all of you that are different.

You have no proof they are faking. You have nothing. They are just trying to live their life. Go back to doing that yourself.

Sincerely,

A really annoyed punk that can’t see why we can’t just accept eachother

My god complex makes life so much easier for me

It also makes me want to violently murder anyone who acts like they're better than me in any way.

Attack your attacker. No rules. No sympathy.

It's been hard to reconcile these past few days that people in this country are actually more receptive to the person who will drive you to your doom off a cliff rather than the person who will give you safer directions on the shallow basis that the latter is 'boring' and we're collectively tired of that even if it's for our own good.

I refuse to change myself for other people that's one thing that'll never happen.

I'll be violently myself.

Idk man I think we should support people with low/no empathy, sympathy, and compassion. We shouldn't get to pick and choose.

[ID: A three panel comic made in black and white shows a wolf with a phone. The first panel shows him looking at the phone in his hands, the screen not shown to the viewer. The second panel shows a close up of the phone screen, reading, "People with no empathy aren't bad people because they have sympathy !!!". The third panel shows the wolf again, now confused, with text reading, "has low/no empathy + sympathy", with an arrow pointed at the wolf. End ID]

The C.E.O. of UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson, was murdered on the street in midtown Manhattan, on Wednesday morning, 20 minutes before sunrise. He was in town for an investors’ convention, and had worked for UnitedHealthcare for more than two decades—a company that is part of UnitedHealth Group, a health-insurance conglomerate valued at $560 billion.

The particulars of this murder are strange and remarkable: it occurred in public; the suspected shooter went to Starbucks beforehand; he got away from the scene via bicycle; he has not yet been found. But the public reaction has been even wilder, even more lawless. “I’m sorry, prior authorization is required for thoughts and prayers,” someone commented on TikTok, a response that got more than 15,000 likes. “Does he have a history of shootings? Denied coverage,” another person wrote, under an Instagram post from CNN.

To most Americans, a company like UnitedHealthcare represents less the provision of medical care than an active obstacle to receiving it, Jia Tolentino writes. UnitedHealthcare has the highest claim-denial rate of any private insurance company: at 32 per cent, it is double the industry average. “Thompson’s murder is one symptom of the American appetite for violence; his line of work is another. . . . For people who do not have money or social connections at hospitals or the ability to spend weeks at a time on the phone, a denied health-insurance claim can instantly bend the trajectory of a life toward bankruptcy and misery and death.”

“The only way to end up in a situation where a C.E.O. of a health-insurance company is reflexively viewed as a dictatorial purveyor of suffering is through a history of socially sanctioned death,” Tolentino continues. “Can the C.E.O. class drop its indifference to the suffering and death of ordinary people? Is it possible to do so while achieving record quarterly profits for your stakeholders, in perpetuity?” Read about the reaction to Thompson’s murder.

Husk's Hot Takes

Hot girl walks? Cute. Try sad guy stumbles—no headphones, no playlist, just raw anxiety and bad posture. It’s therapeutic, really. Wander aimlessly, question your life choices, and stare at the ground so no one talks to you. Bonus points if you stop at a liquor store on the way back. Walking’s cheaper than therapy, anyway.
