It's telling that you think that someone's only reaction to something like this might be fear for their own person. Rather than empathy, concern for others, outrage that something like this could be done to innocent people.
I don't think that.
The image reads "tensed up" and equates it to empathy when it's indicative of fear. Then it suggests that you don't have empathy because you don't have the same visceral reaction to something that doesn't instill fear for your life.
Of course we're concerned about this. I was pointing out that this post is suggesting that we're not.
i mean its hard to be empathetic about 2000 people dying its kinda too much its hard to think about so many people as people its hard to think in that scale when it comes to people.
People get scared when danger is near but not far
people in the u.s. largely don't value human life, particularly outside their country

People also get scared when they're told to be scared, regardless of any actual danger.
