Are we deprogramming empathy in the US?
(lemmy.world)
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
At least since the 60s/70s, it's not new.
Wasn't there segregation before the 70s? So it seems like a default state for USA since forever.

You're referring to the 1560s/70s, right?
Seriously, though, stripping away empathy has always been a tactic throughout history used by the greedy and selfish to get their way.
