I also disagree. There is nothing easier than being nice, and relating to what others are going through because we all go through things.

It is easy for government or states to not have empathy because they are this big omnipresent, almighty entity that isn't responsible for anything (it is responsible but nothing will happen because it won't punish itself so you can blame it but it's pointless), rarely the public officers are responsible, they cover one another, it is easy to cancel helping programs and easier to create barriers. And then you find yourself in this group of people that isn't responsible for anything, but for common individuals it's easy to be nice, easier than being an asshole.
