Let's Discuss The Left Wing Psychopaths Who Think The Titanic Tourists Deserve To Die – Flopping Aces

But one of the defining characteristics of normal people is that our empathy machines, fortunately for society, are not so singularly transactional. We care about people even when it isn’t immediately obvious that there is something in it for us.

The normal people on Monday did what the normal people do. But the abnormal people didn’t do that.
