Hmm, I felt like your comment pre-edit was saying, “empathy requires suspension of judgement,” while I feel like what makes you feel disgust as you empathize with some people is because, “empathy requires judgement, and you’re better at it than them.” I think normies say, “empathy isn’t judgement,” because the act of empathizing helps them eliminate unfair judgements, and often even judge the other person kinder than they judge themselves. I think smarter people, who are brainwashed to think empathy should somehow end up at this conclusion, modify it to “empathy requires a suspension of judgement,” but that’s totally different from what most people are doing when they empathize.
