I don't. I believe that, if there's a good outcome, it can be achieved through the use of icy cold reason more easily than it can be achieved with empathy.
If you'd like to get in an exchange with me on this subject, using evidence, you know where I am.
Typical liberal virtue signaling.

It seems that liberal websites are shutting down their comments sections. Not surprising. No doubt that this moronic screed would get pummeled.

She is the frontwoman of the band Midday Veil, half of the ambient synth duo Hair and Space Museum, co-founder of the record label Translinguistic Other, and curator of art exhibitions at Cairo in Seattle. She has written for Decoder Magazine, The Stranger, and City Arts
WHATEVER
She’s a good little dhimmi, allowed to live among her superiors because she praises them while making her superiors feel even more superior.
I never understood how the Christians of the Middle East could be Islam’s biggest apologists until now. It is a mix of survival instinct (if I praise them, they won’t kill me) to Stockholm effect (they keep threatening to kill us as evil infidels, they didn’t, oh thank god, I love you).
And by embracing their lowest caste status, they get to point to those outside the political system as untouchables and thus be higher than those who don’t fit the new victimhood hierarchy.
True Confessions Of A US Constitution Supremicist.
Guilty. That’s me.
“I’m a white supremacist.”
Actually Emily, you’re not. You are a black supremacist.
“Looking for the comments section? We don’t have one”
That’s probably a good idea. Then you would run smack dab into reality. And that would be painful for you.
This is how she supports herself financially?
I don’t believe it
Seattleite. Why am I not surprised?
I’d love to see what happens if she’s stuck after dark in the Central District of Seattle.
As has been said before, “You can’t fix stupid.”
Love and empathy are different.
Love - impersonal love and appreciation of others, including recognition of the human condition that we share with them, wishing the best for them, forgiveness of their failings as we would like to be forgiven for ours: these constitute the highest and most powerful human qualities.

I thought the article was satire at first.
Ah.
Christian rock band, no doubt.
I agree. “Love” is objective. “Empathy” ... “I share your feelings,” has a place, but it’s a limited, even inessential, place.
Reason is our critical human ability. Mary Wollstonecraft said it in 1792. She’d be smacking this writer upside the head: “Reason, you gibbering idiot. Reason!”
Gosh, one problem I don’t have.
What a joke!
How stupidly manipulated this poor child is, in the education system you and I fund.
I’m not racist. I just have strong “in group” preferences.
