This whole empathy stuff is nothing but a tool for normies to attain moral superiority and signal their virtues to other cattle. We know this.
However something that I never see discussed anywhere, not even here (Joined Mar 27, 2026) is how the lack of empathy for criminals effectively blocks society from truly advancing.
The argumentation shall be general in nature as I am not equipped with the tools nor the will to tackle each individual type of crime sequentially. Please keep in mind that I am not advocating for people to commit crimes, nor I am supporting the belief that crime is acceptable at all, generally (can we really consider a homeless man stealing a loaf of bread to eat, a crime, even though the law does treat it as so? I'll come back to this later).
Crime is presently treated as something akin to an indelible sin. Criminals are subject to social ostracization, occupational ostracization, prevention from getting jobs, and, due to an error they committed, their entire life is ruined. Fair enough, maybe; after all, if the collective, an individual, or a group of individuals is hurt in a meaningful way, there should be a sanction to re-establish a balance of sorts.
The main point I want to put forward is quite straightforward: both the social and legal aspects of dealing with crime are insufficient to maintain even the flimsiest of balanced, and ultimately preclude humanity from advancing and awakening, beginning to address the most deeply rooted flaws in the systems of society.
The legal aspect shall be liquidated without too deep of a dive, for I am not a jurist, nor an ex-convict. The most obvious and glaring contradiction in the system is that nominally, the convicted criminal is subject to re-education and the inmate's re-admission into civil society is facilitated, but in practice neither of these two things occur. Inmates are treated worse than insects, are never re-educated, and in countries like the USA, they are exploited for the profit of private companies. Once inmates get out of jail, the rate of 2nd incarceration is (relatively) very high, symptom of a failed readmission. Think about veterans going back to the USA and being treated like shit by both the cattle and those who should've helped them most, the institutions. This is not that far off.
However I wanted to deal with the social aspect of crime aftermath: stigmatization.
People tend to look at crime in a purely emotional way. Besides those who are inconvenienced by a crime being perpetrated (what I'm trying to say, besides people who are murdered, their family, friends etc, besides those who suffer the consequences of an arson etc, basically those who are on the receiving end of a crime being committed), there should be no reason for people to only look at crime through those blurry lenses of emotion.
First of all, people tend to assign negative moral labels to criminals, even if they are alleged criminals and haven't been proven as such yet. The public seems to require labelling of this sort for two reasons: to distance themselves from the act in itself; to signal to others their own moral virtues. However, emotional behaviors of these sorts has only one effect: negating any possibility of redemption to the criminal. In short, it never began.
In addition to that, people only "empathize" with the victim or perceived victim of a crime. For all those from the USA, consider whenever a school shooting occurs. There has been developed in the course of these past 2 decades an all-encompassing protocol for dealing with a school shooting and the aftermath of such an event. The press must not publish photos of the shooter; focus must be solely on the victims and the school; the shooter must be labelled as "crazy", "not lucid" or other such terms...
What do such behaviours accomplish? For a relatively short amount of time, the victims' families and other mourners meight feel that the burden is shared with other people, but that feeling is short-lived and people do not really care about such things happening, if it doesn't benefit their own ego first and foremost.
What has always fascinated me about how school shootings are handled in public discourse is how no thought is put into the perpetrator. Sure, he sparged out and killed a bunch of teens, but why did he sperg out? Why did he reach a breaking point and decided to commit such an extreme act (which almost always ends in suicide)? These questions are never asked.
Free will does not exist. It is a lie, kept alive to protect the perceived moral superiority that the individual feels regarding himself, for determinism postulates that under the same circumstances, the supposedly morally superior normie would act the same way as the repugnant shooter.
Often enough, those who are victims are also perpetrators. Often enough, those who judge have been judging for far longer.
I took the example of school shooters because it is the most easy to understand, but this same very analysis applies to other crimes, both violent and non-violent.
If people started thinking more, they would ask the correct questions, regarding the shooter's infancy, teenage years, family life, social life, inner psyche. They would try to comprehend the circumstances and the motivations behind the shooter's actions, and, perhaps a utopian possibility, they'd move to ensure that such circumstances cannot possiby exist anymore. In brief, they would try to feel empathy for the shooter's condition. Once again, I do not condone criminal actions, nor do I wish to paint criminals in a totally positive light. I wish for them to not be painted in a completely negative light, and I wish for a time when people could look at a criminal and try to understand what happened and why, in order to improve society (a construction that is indispensable in this day and age for survival) in such a way that such episodes might not occur anymore.
