you can have low empathy and still decide to not be a horrible person, by using your sympathy instead

inversely, you can be an empathetic person and convince yourself that the people you are oppressing are not human and therefore feel no empathy or sympathy towards them, in fact that’s literally what bigotry is why it exists
