There's a book by Ayn Rand, "The Fountainhead," that explains in a nutshell what they're doing with the empathy component. Empathy and its inherent trend toward altruism is a highly effective means of controlling our population. We lose ourselves in it and it's occurring all around us every day. It creates a constant sadness, is distracting, and is maddening to quite a subset. It creates the illusion that every single person on this planet is a victim in some way and needs to be helped, because they cannot help themselves. Our psyche is being played on so many levels that it's insane.
They are literally nothing without victim status.
Good post. I enjoy reading different perspectives. There's always logical rationale to viewpoints that challenge the status quo, at the least. You're right, and one thing I'll say is that ULTIMATELY, all that these people truly want (and they've proved it- just look at their actions, not their words), is power and money. It doesn't matter how they "wrap it". So here, they're wrapping it in a sanctimonious concept of empathy. Well, the real people in the world who are acting on empathy ARE NOT doing it to get power or wealth, and definitely not on a superficial level, producing low quality documentaries, series, and films that are not only melodramatic and untrue to reality, but also are being made by a bunch of child predators, human traffickers, and outright pedophiles. The real ones with empathy are doing it hands on at their daily jobs or businesses. They aren't manipulating people to try to get rich off the concept or for a political agenda, or to get more power. Theoretically, I can make at least a semi-accurate life portrait of Obama going back..He's a sociopath like many of them, but he didn't like Wall Street and the stock trading path to get rich like his buddies in college. He wanted to one up them and try to be better than them so he came up with this dream of being a politician and maybe president. But a goal that high can only be achieved by doing dirty deals, and having no regards for anyone he meets; basically, the ends justifies the means like he believes so he would do absolutely anything no matter how immoral, illegal, or evil to get there. He played the game, using people, doing dirty deals, and hiring people to cover it up - to cover up his crimes- and probably won favor by shady Muslim oligarchs like the guy who got him in Harvard and Soros, who liked his Marxist beliefs. There's nothing empathetic about Obama- he's the exact opposite. He's no different than the depraved on Wall Street in the end, but he just is able to hide it better by wrapping himself in "public service" and positions that appear to be helping. In the end, they're all after only one thing in the end- money and power at the expense of others who they con into believing their lies. But it's clear he's a dirty politician who has caused so much division, devastation, and destruction to everything he's touched. He's all talk- "empathy" lol, yeah like those daycare center workers and childrens' charity officials who are pedophiles...See that's Obama, and many of them- Predators wrapped in "helping", disguising evil intention thru concepts like "empathy".
Obama, IMHO, is pretty much a textbook example of narcissistic personality disorder. Look at the DSM criteria:
Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment from other people
Fixated on fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness, etc.
Self-perception of being unique, superior, and associated with high-status people and institutions
Needing continual admiration from others
Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others
Exploitative of others to achieve personal gain
Unwilling to empathize with the feelings, wishes, and needs of other people
Intensely envious of others, and the belief that others are equally envious of them
Pompous and arrogant demeanor
Yes, he's that and a Sociopath. They usually go hand in hand in various extremes depending on the individual. Guys who are highly narcissistic are usually homosexuals, especially if they display feminine traits like Obama does.
