I'd like to think they're all just Russian trolls but increasingly, I think some people are just selfish or dumb.

If we're going to preach empathy, maybe we should start by trying to understand the people who are watching their homeland get bombed into rubble with the support of both major parties, not the people sharing snide memes.
Do you only have the capacity to empathize with a limited amount of people owe day or how an I to understand your comment?
Take it as this; when one person says, "you should be less harsh on these people, many of them are seeing their homeland destroyed," and another replies, "they don't care, they just want to lash out at them to make themselves feel better," if you jump in to defend the latter group, it gives the impression that you have more sympathy for the latter group than the former.
It would, but that's not what happened.
