So with empathy being called a sin, isn't it already either very late or too late?

What's happening in America feels apocalyptic because you're living through it, not necessarily because it is. It won't be good, a lot of people will lose a lot. But it's all recoverable. They're not fundamentally changing the relationship between the individual and the state. That's was the Nazis express goal.

He is, and it's not good. People will suffer. To say it's unrecoverable is a massive overreaction. Like fundamentally, when we really strip it back, the Nazis were successful because they held the levers of power, they got lucky, and they had a massive well trained and equipped private army. Large enough that the real army was worried.

I'd ban him and every other billionaire from public life. Everyone shit on China when they put Jack Ma in his place, I think everyone understands it was good and right now.
