As the right wing gets more and more polarized, they fall into the errors of bigoted unempathetic mindsets in even more overt ways than they previously did. It’s a given, understanding fascism as an exclusionary ideology, that it offers no place for true universal empathy nor open-mindedness. Empathy transcends everything, including socioeconomic structure, but the value of money serves to distract people from practicing something as “purposeless” and “inefficient” as empathy. No one truly wins in a world without empathy, and if there are those who think they would, they’re sadly misguided. Education, especially concerning the humanities, points out injustices in history and culture that the right wing calls “woke” as a way to dismiss the facts.
