everyone knows about this meme, right?

but does anyone else know the woman who made the food? no? time to educate!

This is “Mother Mary”, the owner of Blackberry’s mother.

She made all the cakes for the restaurant while it was open. Chef Gordon Ramsay tried her red velvet cake, and spoke this meme-able line:

He then called Mary over, complimented her food, and gave her a peck on the cheek.

Look how happy she was to hear that!!!

play like a white onion

the average bigot absolutely does possess empathy, they just don't consider oppressed people worthy of it.

not only that, but a lack of parochial empathy doesn't inherently result in fair treatment, as many people instead view oppressors and the oppressed as equally worthy of care (thus see anti-oppression activism as hateful or overly divisive) or simply avoid thinking about oppression altogether as to not feel bad about it.

this is especially a contrast I notice as a sociopathic narcissist (using both in the clinical sense), literally part of the two groups used the most by the "empathy = good" types to symbolize ring-wing violence.

I'm almost always the "naïve bleeding-heart lefty" in an interaction, regardless of if I'm interacting with conservatives or other progressives. people who shed literal tears over others' plights have become aggressive with Me over suggesting they should care about the "wrong" people or do something about it other than spiraling into self-pity.

I notice that the main difference between Me and these people politically isn't empathy, but how thoughtful our politics are.
