Empathy is not universal. You persuade yourself that somebody is miserable, annoying, weak, unpleasant, and you are not empathetic to them anymore.
Well, at least I feel myself to be weird for not doing that and preventing myself from doing that.

It’s like everyone is so afraid of being seen as a nazi
You got it backwards. It's not that they are afraid, it's that every Nazi thing you do becomes unimportant if you support Israel and yell "look, I'm not a Nazi, because I support Israel".
That's a huge, huge stimulus for support. Now if you've done Nazi things, Israel is your salvation. And if you haven't done Nazi things cause you're afraid, just get friendly with Israel.
They are basically selling modern day's indulgences.
And Israel, of course, endorses that via its puppet diasporan organizations and their moves like "anything but Holocaust is not a genocide, and if you don't agree, you're a Nazi" or "you can't be Nazi if you're Jewish" and, of course, "if you don't support Israel, you are not Jewish".
that often means pure war crimes
It 100% meant pure war crimes. It's not like they had any competence for actual police work or any discipline for actual garrison duty or anything else valuable.
Maybe because there's that concept of entropy in Markovian processes. Or in simpler words - the bigger share AI-created stuff holds in the whole corpus of texts we read and use, the more degenerate they become over time.
Eh, guess, this doesn't look simpler, but I'm just clumsy with words. The general idea is clear, I hope.
And also nothing prevents people who ruined Reddit from coming here, and they do.
Which is why identities and communities on Fediverse should be cryptography-based, and an "instance" should simply be a sort of a supernode, or a caching node.
I mean, in the book the Mouth of Sauron talks pretty much like a modern politician.
offtopic: Such a nice post for a place themed "green energy", LOL.
The whole concept of such a place as a physical conduit of knowledge seems to be one of the last things ergonomic still surviving.
And also a place of comfort for people of a certain kind.
I'm thinking that this irritated, depressed, sad state I'm currently in is in some sense because of not going to a library for some time (like 10 years) and picking a random fiction book with yellow pages smelling of dust. It's more natural than searching for something to read in Google or in Wikipedia even.
SpaceX became profitable not all at once as well.
I think we should all remember that company's success is also a function of investors' money AND public trust. SpaceX for some people was a symbol of all things modern. Tesla as well to some extent.
With such amount of trust no wonder these finally became profitable.
Ah, also companies engineering vehicles and spacecraft are rather different from a company the whole purpose of which is matching people (readers to posters, advertisers to customers, so on).
That word is used to express the feeling you get when some better socialized, but not particularly smart or competent or educated or understanding people disrespect your hobbies/expertise/opinions/feelings while you don't disrespect theirs.
I use it sometimes. More often in periods after once again forcing myself to believe that maybe I shouldn't look at people this way and maybe I'm wrong, and then getting wounded once again.
