The way these people describe "empathy" is so creepy and cultlike. As if it's some deep, esoteric knowledge they didn't know about their entire lives. It's obvious that what they call "empathy" is a set of political beliefs they hold to be absolute truth, as leftists commonly pathologize all dissent as some sort of mental illness. They really are just psychopaths who throw out buzzwords to justify their psychopathy, little children can learn empathy and don't need to couch it in quasi-religious terms (while also failing to display). Absolute religious zealots.
And that this shrink uncritically accepts this is even more proof that psychiatry is such a pernicious, disgusting grift.
