An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

It is, but the dark side of our incredibly adaptable nature as humans is you can also learn to suppress your empathy. And that can also be a contagious idea.

Experiencing the pain of others hurts. People are cowards. But while they have been taught to turn off their empathy three times a day, they are rarely taught how to engage it.
