I sometimes have a feeling where I see people being preferential towards people they like and insensitive towards those that they don’t and having a mixed feeling of “aww that’s nice” and “eurgh this scales badly into nasty things”. Part of this feeling is the feeling that the people acting preferentially are acting in a way that feels nice and is all warm and fuzzy, while another part is that humans have lots of icky moral bugs that make bad things happen.
So he’s outraged by people basing their moral decisions on empathy? I’m… not sure how to empathise with that emotion.

Could you empathize with that?
