[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 3 days ago (1 child) Empathy is inversely proportional to power. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] orbitz@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago (1 child) In current situation but imagine a world where country leaders could show empathy? I only word it that way because some leaders appear to have it but there's only so much they can do when the other elected reps decide it's not worthwhile. I wonder so much why it's basically a four letter word (so to say) among some groups. Basically it's the trait you want in leaders but doesn't make much side money for people doing proper governing. What a shit system cause they all pour honey in our ears how things will be fantastic if just one group was blamed. Horeshit though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago There was a leader like that in Uruguay. The president took pubkic transportation to work and donated all the money he could. Such a great guy! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Mujica permalink fedilink source parent
