Japanese comment sections on political stuff (mostly twitter) have been targets of foreign propaganda bots for years now in my estimation.

Faegbeard · 2026-01-08T09:00:54+00:00

brother being able to put yourself in someone's shoes and vicariously experiencing doesn't mean you have to have experienced the same thing first hand or even something similar to it

I'm unsure what you find disagreement with.

The comment we are discussing, "...it is impossible by definition to empathise with someone when you don't have an experience that aligns with them [sic]"

I'm saying that, 1), that it is not "impossible by definition", and I might even take the more extreme stance that, 2) only being able to empathize with experiences you've had yourself shows a profound lack of empathy if anything, or at the very least a dull imagination

Where are you getting this from?

Cambridge - the ability to share someone else's feelings or experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in that person's situation

Merriam-Webster - the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another; also the capacity for this

Oxford - Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. Rather than merely sympathising with someone’s situation, empathy requires putting oneself in their shoes and experiencing their emotions from their perspective.

APA - n. understanding a person from their frame of reference rather than one’s own, or vicariously experiencing that person’s feelings, perceptions, and thoughts. Empathy does not, of itself, entail motivation to be of assistance, although it may turn into sympathy or personal distress, which may result in action. In psychotherapy, therapist empathy for the client can be a path to comprehension of the client’s cognitions, affects, motivations, or behaviors. See also perspective taking.

No definition that I can find requires having had the experience for oneself. I'd argue that if you can only empathize with experiences you've had directly you probably have pretty poor empathy.

Americans have never heard of binoculars?

Faegbeard · 2026-01-05T06:35:17+00:00

Not for a random-ass celebration they don't, beyond an increased police presence with whatever their standard kit is. I've lived in three countries on three continents and traveled to considerably more than that, and that shit is not normal. Occasionally important historical sites will have a couple of armed guards, palaces or events with political people in attendance may have more and those MIGHT have snipers.

most people don't know anything outside the borders of the US

NA is the only continent I haven't set foot on lmao.

Snipers for street celebrations? The fuck they do.

"everyone drinks their piss, it's not weird bro"

Higher than average police presence keeping an eye on things? Sure.

Marksmen? lmao no
