Empathy does not have any limits. If you were born with Hitler's exact generic make up and lived good exact life, your be Hitler. I have empathy for people so sick and twistedv that they harm others. I have empathy for millions of citizens that are fed propaganda and are worried about where their next meal will come from or if their spouse/child will die on the battlefield, as a political prisoner or a POW. I have empathy for people with psychotic disorders. Etc.

People can only take responsibility for themselves. Everything else is theater. Your grandparents for what they believed in , great.

I vote, I'll try to engage with anyone that is reasonable. I take care of my people and strangers. That's all I can do. I definitely don't pass judgement on people who's life I can never know as a group, nation, religion etc.
