> There is a fundamental issue with our civilization and species: we have a scant few actual adults. I mean non-immature, non-self exclusively serving individuals who both care about others and have the capacity to do so beyond their immediate family.
This is it right here. We as a civilization have been so traumatized by the sociopaths and psychopaths that we've just given up an accepted their rule by terror.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Care about others in the face of their awfulness.
The fact that your compassion makes them mad tells you they know they are wrong. They see you as a threat to their ability to freely squeeze the world around them to death. Any amount of fairness to this group feels like persecution. They will only come to their senses when a more powerful force applies the same unpleasant tactics to them. Suddenly, we are all a united force against THAT evil over there... forget what I was doing yesterday...
