“Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights? They’re human too. Elon Musk says don’t be fooled by the empathy trap. Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower. It’s what makes human beings exceptional, our ability to look outside ourselves.”
~ Actor John C. Reilly
Ran into this quote by the actor John C. Reilly. It is a question which I have thought about in the past, as well.
Being humans themselves, why aren't people who tend to identify as conservatives not generally concerned with human rights?
It's a good question. Certainly, I don't have a good answer.
Perhaps the real question is whether or not they have a good answer for their seeming lack of concern or care about human rights.
Why do they feel so exempt from the consequences of supporting human rights abuses?
