Basic levels of empathy aren't. Especially for randos you read about online. And its not 'fuck you got mine' its 'who and why do I care'. Like seriously dude apart from using the lady's death as a talking point or one more thing to stew on is there much of a point to this?Or it's actually having basic levels of empathy and understanding that a degree of that is necessary to keep civilization and society functioning? If your response is "fuck you got mine" to a literal orphan, I would highly encourage you to do some soul searching.
Like talk about the reaction in Chicago, about a couple more people there finally growing a spine or getting slapped to their senses. But whats the point in using it as a talking point about stuff everybody already knows.
Yes, the Lady was reckless to go back to the field 2 weeks after giving birth (seriously lady take a longer break or apply for desk work or for apply for low stress work for a while because like weren't you before the birth?). Her bosses were kinda assholes for putting her on responsibilities that had the chance for something like this to happen (because common you morons you are Police in Chicago and the woman just gave birth). Yes women are on average and in the vast vaaast majority of cases wimps compared to the average dude (because action girl movies are dump and should come with don't try this in real life warnings). Yes Chicago is that much of a shitholw with that shitty a criminal population (Shocker!).
All this is known, all this is obvious and all this erodes any fucks you should give about it. Because they certainly don't.
My assumption on that 'tribal mind' thing is its either BS or people generally round up concepts like 'the world', 'humanity' or 'that TV show I like' and all that other crap into individual people in their minds and assign them to those slots. I blame treating concepts like government or businesses as if they were people.It's entirely possible to 'in abstract' care about humanity at large, but that abstraction is a very different thing that actual, direct emotional connection.
