There’s a school of white nationalist thought, with roots in Hitlerism, that sees empathy as a suicidal, negative trait (foisted upon whites by Jews). Elon, his “rationalist” buddies and Christian Identity folks have been mainstreaming it in MAGA.
Where are the roots? Do other cultures have this?

NEW: For more than a century, a smelter spewed lead dust over Omaha.
For decades, the government cleaned it up.
But a shift in guidance from the Trump administration may stop thousands more from potential cleanup, exposing families to the harmful metal.

The EPA Was Considering a Massive Lead Cleanup in Omaha. Then Trump Shifted Guidance.
The Trump administration says it will speed cleanups, but residents of the largest residential lead Superfund site worry fewer properties will be remediated.

A key thing about corporate use of genAI is that it removes all the friction involved between the executives' weird fetish shit and inner thoughts, and public display
It does to corporations what alcohol does to a bigot.

using AI cuts corners on involving people who know better. negativity for christmas is an awful ad concept even if it was made by people - so a creative team would push back on the request. business people like AI doesn't argue, not understanding experts were protecting them from their own bad ideas

🇪🇸 Country that never withdrew since debut (1961-2025);
🇮🇸 99% viewership + permanent ESC museum exhibition.
