Isn't this very uncommon, in addition to the need to be at least somewhat compassionate (e.g. in regards to issues that might not affect individuals personally, but that affect minorities, or simply those who are different)? A certain social cooling might be needed in many societies, less extremism, less identity politics, less hate.

I don't think we live in such a world, yet.

It is the world we should create instead of waiting for others to improve things for us. The status quo is the problem.

We are already arming teachers as a result of representative democracy. Their corporate arms manufacturer donors need to keep selling guns.
