Frankly, the word "compassion" has come to have a bad taste for me in recent years, so often in the mouths of the woke to deflect just anger, criticism--or simply amusement--from those who have earned it by their folly, bad actions, or criminal behavior.

To accuse people who are expressing their frustration and justified annoyance at a whole culture of willfully blind stupidity of being "blasé" or "indifferent" shows either a stunning inability to read the tone of the comments, or vexatious insincerity.

My comment was perhaps the third and was in response to the comments before mine.

The comments have since expanded to include many different attitudes and opinions.

That’s the backstory.

I can understand how anyone would be averse to excusing inexcusable behavior using compassion as the stated reason.

There are degrees of folly, bad actions or criminal behavior and I reserve the right to judge and respond accordingly as I see fit.
