Here’s the extended quote from Snopes.
“So the new communications strategy for Democrats, now that their polling advantage is collapsing in every single state… collapsing in Ohio. It’s collapsing even in Arizona. It is now a race where Blake Masters is in striking distance. Kari Lake is doing very, very well. The new communications strategy is not to do what Bill Clinton used to do, where he would say, “I feel your pain.” Instead, it is to say, “You’re actually not in pain.” So let’s just, little, very short clip. Bill Clinton in the 1990s. It was all about empathy and sympathy. I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage. But, it is very effective when it comes to politics. Sympathy, I prefer more than empathy. That’s a separate topic for a different time.”
How ironic that this person seems to be doing the same thing they’re accusing others of doing. Maybe he made the quote twice and elaborated the 2nd time, but I couldn’t find any reputable sources for it.
Even if this is the quote, empathy is clearly real any anyone who has cried to a movie knows that. You’re feeling real emotions from those and they’re not even from real humans!
It’s obvious of course that these fucks are just psychopaths.
It’s also confusing what “sympathy” means. Sympathy is feeling the same thing from having experienced it personally, empathy is trying to understand and have concern over something you haven’t personally experienced. Someone saying they “hate empathy and prefer sympathy” is literally saying “I only care about things I’ve personally experienced, I only care about people like me”.
The one time Kirk is honest about something and it’s explaining how most conservatives think
the other time he was honest about something it was paying the price for the second amendment.
That’s what makes it so hilarious. They’re fighting accusations of him being heartless with a fake quote of him making a terrible argument based on a false definition.
you miss 420% of the thots you don’t 69 -charlie kirk
hellll ya
accidentally revealing that charlie kirk has antisocial personality disorder
A lot of progressives are honestly posting memes that make the quote appear far more ironic than it is in context, but the audacity of “correcting” people with an unverified quote is quite something.
I kinda hope he did actually say it, because this argument is dumb. Of course we can’t literally feel what another person feels. Some have suggested it might be confusing empathy with telepathy.
Some have suggested he might be confusing empathy with telepathy.
That’s why it’s called the woke left, because they awakened their latent psychic abilities.
They’re confusing empathy the real world thing for empathy the marvel world super power
“Hey chat gpt can you make this quote not evil?”
ACTUALLY we are a republic not a democracy :smuglord:
every damn time, that fking face surprises me at how small it is
I’m torn between not being able to emulate the feeling of Kirk’s cold drained dead fascist corpse and Biden doing the
“Give me a break” on feeling empathy for the under 50s.Damn I miss president dust bowl

Is this what Christians mean when they talk about “the sin of empathy”
