You can feel bad for anyone you want. Most people with even a half-decent sense of empathy can find ways to empathize with anyone no matter what they did. Lots of mass shooters are autistic on top of being white supremacists. I could feel bad for them if I wanted. White men’s autism being leveraged to radicalize them and redirect the rage of their oppression elsewhere is an incredibly common pattern. But I don’t. Because I’ve had my empathy weaponized against me too many times on my life and if I can’t draw a boundary around wasting time feeling bad for people who murder children, how am I supposed to draw that boundary elsewhere?
That's for you I guess and thats okay. i personally dont find it such a emotionally arduous task to consider the victims and the perpetrator. Like are the people who killed the Russian tsars children bad? I personally have a hard time having any empathy for rich people.
