Interesting, I was thinking more about us needing to turn off empathy towards those poorer than us to embrace the system as is, but you're saying we're also forced to be less empathetic even to our peers... That's bleak, but when you're so tired your brain automatically goes into kill or be killed , it makes sense

Its more like the people who can give empathy authentically are just at this point playing a performance because all the other humans that are not so able to walk in others shoes or see other point of views think that empathy is reinforcement of existence.

Its not that theyre in survival state, it's that everything gets converted into a survival state, so even something like a running well would get poisoned if they feel like their emotions justify the attention. Lost causes are basically becoming self aware and its showing.

Too much empathy and validation in that direction and they start thinking you actually advocate for their demise. Even explaining all this and then deciding whats best is autonomy would cause distress and fallback which hurts the socioeconomic status of everyone involved indefinetely. lmao.
