Racism is virtue.

Empathy is weakness

I don't think these freaks view it as a sin, just as a weakness... which is maybe worse.

It is so much easier and comfortable to just close your eyes to the troubles of the world, but it also means that you won’t see what’s coming and will not be able to act. So this sort of sensory overload with negativity and craziness is kinda the point. The more people are tuned out and overwhelmed, the easier it is for assholes like Musk and Trump to push their agenda through. It’s also talked about in 1984, where the quote comes from

Well feigned ignorance can totally be a strength, but actual ignorance is only worth your luck or others’ protective instinct
