    Exactly, they should! What they’re doing instead is using violence on people outside their in-group.

    The fascists are trying to kill people. In response your argument proposes what is best described as a kind of Stockholm syndrome. But instead of a empathy for captors your argument would have victims have empathy for their murderers. Like some kind of extreme form of rape culture. It’s disgusting in my opinion.

    Neither are the people celebrating here, according to this logic. See the issue?

    Those tolerant people are feeling empathy for each other regardless of their group. They are even expressing empathy for Charlie Kirk’s children. So they are following the social contract where as the fascists are not.

    Apparently they are not, as exemplified by celebration of violence here.

    Those who break the peace treaty are not protected by it. The fascists broke the peace treaty so the fascists are not protected by it.

    They feel empathy for the intolerant

    The users in this thread are still tolerant of each other, regardless of group. So the empathy they feel towards each other is for tolerant people of different groups.

    , and dislike the emphatic.

    Fascists want to kill out groups. Fascists are practicing parochial empathy if even that. Your argument seems to have no grasp of what empathy is or how to practice it in a healthy or useful way so it is not compelling. edit: typo
