Yesterday was Empathy Day. Or maybe today is; I’m not sure.
I was going to post a link to the official Empathy Day website, so I did an Internet search. In doing so, I found no fewer than three different official Empathy Day sites, and no fewer than four different dates for this year’s Empathy Day: March 5, March 29, June 11, and June 12. And probably more.
Evidently the Empathy movement has been by schisms rent asunder, so that there are now multiple sects, each claiming to be the one, the true, the only source of Empathy.
Anyway, the tweet below was posted yesterday by an amusing fellow named Zuby:
Zuby’s escapade reminded me of a meme pic we posted a few years ago. I constructed it based on an original (smaller) version by someone else; can’t remember who:
The raped glass has been attacked so many times, he’s numb to it all.
I saw what you did there! Clever! Kind of bait and switch….
He? Heee? What happened with the other 71 genders?
They were all space aliens who gave up on Earthlings and returned to their respective home planets. They demanded extra pay for having been sent here.
They who exploit our empathy and never empathized with us, deserved no empathy from us.
Or, to quote the great Isaiah Berlin (I hope accurately), intolerance of the intolerant is not intolerance.
Hope the Stones (“Sympathy for the Devil”) don’t sue, Baron!
Looks like “half-raped” to me.
