I've expressed my concern for women being imprisoned with these dangerous men, and I'm STILL told "Ultimately it doesn't effect you" as if they're still talking about just peeing in a public bathroom. There's nothing they won't look the other way on.

Ultimately it doesn't effect you

How did we get to this point? Where people don't even remember what basic empathy is?

It's curious you say that. I think a lot of people today are confusing empathy with being emotionally connected to a particular idea. The woke in particular will accuse the non-woke of 'lacking empathy', while they're calling for death to TERFs and pretending that women being raped in prison is no biggie. I blame social media, where people tribalized themselves and convinced themselves that only the tribe mattered, that their group was the only humans. That's how I see it anyway, but I'm not sure how we break the cycle.

I just want to return to monke tbh lol, joking and not joking at the same time. Although I see the positives about the internet it brought more negatives if anything, I wish it would vanish sometimes
