I've been hearing the same thing since 2015, to delete compassion for the stupid, that human being aren't worth crying for, only cry for kittens and puppy dog photos.

Essentially what people on smartphones are claiming is that the rich / wealthy are LOL at workers and health insurance customers and do not have compassion for ordinary non-famous non-rich people.

But that's exactly the same attitude of ordinary people. How many are viewing health care as a society-wide problem of not giving a shit about the ordinary non-famous non celebrity person? While everyone stares at Elon Musk, unpopular people get zero compassion.

A lot of people on Matodon in 2024 seem blissfully lacking in self-awareness about how truth, honesty, sincerity are not popular. Donald Trump is the most popular person in all world media history, he has saturated every possible medium system with his brand name since 2013... for AVOIDING truth.

People far prefer fiction and quarantine truth to the "avoid" bin. The blocked, the apathy channel.

:::

In 1912 a periodical favoring women’s suffrage called “The Vote: The Organ of the Women’s Freedom League” edited by Charlotte Despard published an editorial titled “The Great Conspiracy” which criticized the political system of the United Kingdom and argued that many people were being deceived and should learn the truth. The editorial contained a statement that was thematically related to the quotation under investigation:

"The truth! But it is just the truth that cannot be known of the multitude, for truth is revolutionary."

The exposition continued with a claim about the necessity of seeking truth:

"Truth has to be sought—in tears, in sorrow, in desperate revolt; here a little and there a little gained, and when gained held against all comers for the sake of humanity and sometimes at the cost of life itself."
