It is naught but crypto-fascism the proposition that there is a choice between exercising empathy and being an immoral character. It is moral authoritarianism, the gaslighting of others, trying to make them believe that free will exists in the service of neo-conservative morality's dialectic of good judgement and evil judgement being a problem to consider at all in the first place. The reality is that morality lives way beyond what the rhetoric of neoliberal initiatives try to seductively present to vulnerable intellects and hearts.
Advertising empathy as being better than a slice of bread is just fascism and a strain of neo-colonial desire in a clever (but not clever enough) disguise. The global threats to capitalism's productivity goals aren't fooling anyone. The Devil's idle hands and economic regression will have to retreat back to the drawing board and find a new military tactic that would be more effective than trying to disguise morality as something cool looking (when in reality it looks ugly and unappealing as an asset).
