“I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un,” she wrote in the book set to be released Tuesday. “I’m sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants (I’d been a children’s pastor, after all).”
But Noem’s spokesperson seemed to confirm to Politico and other news outlets that the story is not accurate and that the book will be corrected to remove it.
She sounds like the perfect Trump VP candidate: she just says whatever she thinks people will eat up and doesn’t worry about whether it’s true or not.
Because capitalism does not incentivize empathy.
You’re link doesn’t support your point at all. In fact it seems to contradict it because it says the problem won’t be solved by good corporate leadership.
It doesn’t seem to offer up any cause, discusses how hard it is to address, and then gives some things individuals can do to increase their own empathy.
This is surprising that it’s getting up votes because my experience on lemmy is that things like these are the fault of companies and capitalists, and any suggestion that individuals are part of the problem and can do something to improve the situation is met with anger and denial.
Companies and capitalists are all individuals. Perhaps I’m wrong, or, perhaps Adorno was correct when he said, “wrong life cannot be lived rightly”..
What does this have to do with your original citation not supporting your claim at all? Without a specific explanation as to why this explains it, it just reeks of moving the goal-posts.
How can I move the goalposts, when I’m not playing the game. I stated, “perhaps, I’m wrong.” 😑
Edit: There’s a reason newspapers, magazines and cable news networks don’t mention that capitalism is the cause of homelessness, wealth inequality, healthcare debt, etc. That’s a big no-no, and can cause funding to be removed and flak from management. The system censors and filters criticism of itself.
Also: I’m definitely wrong.
You find the statement " capitalism does not incentivize empathy" to be in contradiction with “the problem will not be solved by good corporate leadership”?
Dude. What are you smoking??? I need some, like, for real…
Maybe not, but the more important thing is that the link doesn’t support the claim at all. Not surprising that you are nit-picking my point, but not calling out the top level comment for deceptively using a citation that doesn’t support their claim.
Nah, I’m not nitpicking so much as outright rejecting.
Whatever
Avoiding the actual point. Well done.
