I feel like the original quote applies here pretty well, no real need to change it…
Should be updated to include “empathy is sin”.
Racism is virtue.
Empathy is weakness
I don’t think these freaks view it as a sin, just as a weakness… which is maybe worse.
I feel like, as a non American, ignorance is bliss.
But I’d realize all of this is insane shit even if I didn’t hear about it daily.
It is so much easier and comfortable to just close your eyes to the troubles of the world, but it also means that you won’t see what’s coming and will not be able to act. So this sort of sensory overload with negativity and craziness is kinda the point. The more people are tuned out and overwhelmed, the easier it is for assholes like Musk and Trump to push their agenda through. It’s also talked about in 1984, where the quote comes from
Well feigned ignorance can totally be a strength, but actual ignorance is only worth your luck or others’ protective instinct
Let’s add: Poverty is wealth
