Hi. Elon Musk says that empathy is "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization." In this episode, we look at why the right hates empathy and how they're trying to get more Americans to approve of their antisocial behavior.

NOTE: YouTube had processing issues, and we had to do a repost.

We did it! We held our ground and made it happen, somehow!

Eric Williams

hell yea, a possible Michael Burns crossover edit: the credits had me rolling

Douglas Boyle

It wasn't YouTube it was the corn cream leeching into the server

Amanda

"No one needs to know how to say "don't shoot me!" In German... lately..." 😂

Katie

Perfect timing again from you news dudes! I was just having a minor existential crisis after talking to my parents yesterday and realizing just how little empathy they have for anyone that isn’t themselves, or their family. (And honestly they have less empathy for family members who aren’t perfectly politically and socially aligned with them)

Kelly Huiskamp

Nice catch with the guitar Mr. Cody! Spent some time with trans and NB friends and new peoples this weekend at the gun range, it’s scary to know that I may need to physically protect them soon. 😢

Sam Larson

Why was the US committing genocide framed as hypothetical? It has been doing so for eighteen months.

Zack Spiller

I had to pause at 1:09:48 because of the sheer hypocrisy of Buttfield saying “manufactured narrative by the media…” literal puke on him

Angela Crawford

This one hit. They all do. We had a very expensive schoolboard election, as the last 4 have been, and there was electioneering going on at my polling place (MO). The Republican party is flat out endorsing schoolboard candidates which is a non-partisan position. I took it upon myself to eat up the time of this middle aged white woman at my polling location and told her that one candidate voted 3 times to put all federal funding for school lunches at risk because he didn't want to amend the language that would prohibit discrimination against trans kids. We're the largest school district in our state and it's thousands of kids who would be impacted. ($7M at risk for ~13k kids) She kept saying it wasn't true and that there were 2 genders. Real "nuh-uh" energy. Eventually I said "how are you going to tell Peter at the Pearly Gates that you fought to keep food out of the mouths of children?" Again. Denial of reality. Said that we were paying for the sins of Eve? Whatever. I had to get to work, but civility was gone for me. I threw out one last "you better be wrong about how hell works because you're going there bitch." and left. I don't need to be nice to these people and I will confront their bullshit. (I also did the responsible thing and called the election authorities about the electioneering.)

I work in a factory. I do not want to be working in a fucking factory.

Vance

It's the policy of this administration to solely punch down

Vance

If the only way for the human race to survive is without empathy, well the fucking human race shouldn't survive

Steve Snyder

I really feel like I was the target audience for this one with the appeal near the end to hold a little empathy for Trump voters who may now be regretting their decision. Excellent episode! Could definitely hear Mr. Bell’s voice in there.

Zack Spiller

One of the annoying things about these grifters, is that they are not original. This is stuff Foucault talked about for years when he talked about the systems of control not being adopted and expanded because of who or what they target, but because how they function. These ghouls don’t actually care about being gay or trans, they care about the broader apparatus of control and power. The mechanisms train individuals to internalize norms so they can produce orderly and productive citizens

I audibly gasped watching a priest do the Nazi salute. Had not seen that one. Holy fuck.

Jane Heyer

I was amused by Cody reading in terrible Spanish then claiming it was German.

Salaam Deitrus

Well, we're cooked. I think the cruelty is spreading globally. It's been real folks. If there is an afterlife let's run it back. (Hopefully better) ✊🏼👊🏼

Jane Heyer

Funny how these fascists invoke the law and disregard the law in the same breath. And claim that it's OUR feelings that are the problem.

Karen Cox

These guys are such pathetic little dweebs.

Armando MC

Love all these episodes but this might be my new favorite. Desperately needed message in these dark times.

Shane Azevedo

These are the same people that love to express how much they "don't have any fucks to give" like it's some kind of armor against responsibility or feelings. No, it just makes you a sociopath.

Elections need to have consequences because apparently Republicanism is stronger than common sense. I just wish stock markets and dead kids in Texas were not the only consequences that effect them.

Data Diva

Did anyone else not get the podcast version like they were supposed to?

Carl P Crossgrove

So glad you hit the nail on the head. Empathy, consideration and community are going in the opposite direction from the nazis and fascists. They want everyone dehumanized so we can all feel nothing when other humans are beaten, loaded into vans, throttled or disappeared for no reason. The end game of dehumanization is indeed genocide. There's no way to sugar-coat it. The point of EM's vendetta against empathy is so nobody cares about any of his 11 baby-mamas, or any former Tesla or X employees, or any person you have been convinced is less-than. There really is such a short path between "I don't care about my neighbor" to "Load them all into the oven". So again, what Cody is arguing for is to not lose your ability to be a human who cares about others.

FR. How long you keep the desk paper before you get new?

Marie Strange

I will do anything in my power to facilitate the puking on of Watters

David Black

I don’t know why Jessie is such a dick

David Black

Well, they succeeded because I have absolutely no empathy for any of the maggots out there I can’t wish anything, but the worst for them

David Black

I empathize with Elon Musk’s toilet seat because he’s so full of crap. He probably never leaves the thing.
