AOG - // /// If I was Katie Hopkins, I could spend another thirty minutes padding it out with some more over-emotional guff designed to appeal to people who think crying on reality shows makes them empathetic, and people who watch them think they understand what emotions are. ///
/// and her pretend empathy is an insult to anyone involved in any way in this terrible tragedy. ///
So according to you all those at vigils throughout the country and who were hugging each other and shedding a tear were actually showing 'pretend empathy'? //
AOG, I know your knee-jerk reaction is to leap on anything I post, but do try reading what I post first, it will help your criticism to be accurate, at least.
It is Ms Hopkins' 'empathy' which is pretend, that is what my post actually says, so that has no bearing on people who are genuinely supporting each other in this terrible time.
As for people at vigils showing empathy, where do I suggest that this is 'pretend empathy'? I would have thought even you could recognise the difference between a reality show and a vigil, but if not, I am happy to highlight the difference for you.
I would have thought the mention of using vigils to score your petty points was beneath even you - but I am always happy to be contradicted.
