There are low empathy people and there are high empathy people. Whether these traits are informed by genetics or trauma/conditioning, those with low empathy, and psychopathic or narcissistic traits, will always run towards fascism when presented with liberalism. You can’t fix them. They’ve always been around and they always will be. Modern civilization will always be a constant battle to keep them from driving the narrative and controlling the levers of power.
