I’m sorry if you found me empathetic, or possibly non-empathetic. I certainly hope no Cybertrucks were harmed.
More great data on your views, which I respect even if I do not agree.
The concept of 'suicidal empathy' is tied to some of the same ideology around the 'woke mind virus' etc. This topic is also complex and many accomplished people have been advocating for that view well before Elmo left the left. Again, I respect those that have such views while not having to agree with them.
I suspect the news bubble you live in has not exposed you to this topic, and thus the Elmo noise field is how you were exposed. Again, that is not a criticism - you are free to live and curate your life - but please note that the site you linked to was largely clickbait. A short snippet designed to enrage rather than inform.
