Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

Because capitalism does not incentivize empathy.
You're link doesn't support your point at all. In fact it seems to contradict it because it says the problem won't be solved by good corporate leadership.
It doesn't seem to offer up any cause, discusses how hard it is to address, and then gives some things individuals can do to increase their own empathy.
This is surprising that it's getting up votes because my experience on lemmy is that things like these are the fault of companies and capitalists, and any suggestion that individuals are part of the problem and can do something to improve the situation is met with anger and denial.
Companies and capitalists are all individuals. Perhaps I’m wrong, or, perhaps Adorno was correct when he said, “wrong life cannot be lived rightly”..
What does this have to do with your original citation not supporting your claim at all? Without a specific explanation as to why this explains it, it just reeks of moving the goal-posts.
How can I move the goalposts, when I’m not playing the game. I stated, “perhaps, I’m wrong.” 😑
Edit: There’s a reason newspapers, magazines and cable news networks don’t mention that capitalism is the cause of homelessness, wealth inequality, healthcare debt, etc. That’s a big no-no, and can cause funding to be removed and flak from management. The system censors and filters criticism of itself.
Also: I’m definitely wrong.
You find the statement " capitalism does not incentivize empathy" to be in contradiction with "the problem will not be solved by good corporate leadership"?
Dude. What are you smoking??? I need some, like, for real...
Maybe not, but the more important thing is that the link doesn't support the claim at all. Not surprising that you are nit-picking my point, but not calling out the top level comment for deceptively using a citation that doesn't support their claim.
Nah, I'm not nitpicking so much as outright rejecting.
Whatever
Avoiding the actual point. Well done.
