Empathy does not have any limits. If you were born with Hitler's exact generic make up and lived good exact life, your be Hitler. I have empathy for people so sick and twistedv that they harm others. I have empathy for millions of citizens that are fed propaganda and are worried about where their next meal will come from or if their spouse/child will die on the battlefield, as a political prisoner or a POW. I have empathy for people with psychotic disorders. Etc.
People can only take responsibility for themselves. Everything else is theater. Your grandparents for what they believed in , great.
I vote, I'll try to engage with anyone that is reasonable. I take care of my people and strangers. That's all I can do. I definitely don't pass judgement on people who's life I can never know as a group, nation, religion etc.

No. But were they all guilty?
My grandparents survived Auschwitz, lost their first child there so your example hits closer to me than I'm guessing it does to you. My grandparents moved to Dortmund Germany, to become one of the first Rabbis after WWII in the country.
Imo the one thing our society is greatly missing is empathy. Actual true empathy. Try it, you'll be better off.

So all people living under tryanny should be considered tyrants? So all North Koreans are bad? What about abused partners?
The shallow thinking behind stuff like this and people like you are a lot of what is fucked in the world .
Read some history. Life of luxury has made you ignorant. In your little world you can draw your lines wherever you want , just make sure to put the crayons back when your done.

Reply to TIL love is as strong as illegal drugs. When you fall in love the same part of your brain is stimulated as when you take mind-altering substances like cocaine. by Canes-Venaticii
If cocaine = mind altering, wtf are psychedelics?
