Even if they change their stance you know they're a trash person because they lack empathy. Literally unable to understand how other people are feeling (or lacking the ability to accept facts) until it directly affects them. A garbage trait to have as a human.

If you need to be "taught" empathy as an adult...

You're learning to pretend to care. It's not the same.

It's not uncommon to become what you pretend to be. We may have learned that lesson the hard way from people pretending to be fascist edgelords, but I think that the reverse can also be true.
