Were has our empathy gone? Down the drain, washed away by all the guilt-mongering done by insatiable Social Justice Warriors that turned anti-racism into accusations of "white privilege," feminism into accusations of "rape culture," fight against religious extremism into accusations of "islamophobia," respect for sexual minorities into accusations of "transphobia," and so on.
When the Left is more interested by non-binary pronouns and Justin Trudeau's socks than by the debt he's pouring us in and the weapons sold to Saudi Arabia, a powerhouse of Islamic extremism, no wonder the ordinary citizen gets tired and angry.
