  OP is not compassionate confirmed.
context: The media is very good at using this to stir people up too, they are well aware of the phenomena. A lot of people are compassionate about social justice nowadays, how do you think they were able to stir up worldwide unrest after one guy was killed unjustly by the police? (yes.. even Britain and France did this nonsense) 
  It's crazy how worked up people get, especially when you consider that the guy didn't even get away with it... >
  
  I think there's definitely a sliding scale here. It's not that some people are compassionate and everyone else is not compassionate. People are moved by different things and to different degrees.
  I do agree with your point that those who are highly motivated by emotion are prone to prejudice. Emotion needs to be tempered with logic. It's very common (and always has been) for people to take one thing out of context and just run with it and go kind of crazy. >
  
  People who think they're logical and dispassionate are often incorrect and cannot recognize prejudice and bias in themselves. They will instead try to justify their beliefs by doing things like cherry-picking evidence. >
  
  I mean, of course.  Everyone’s human.  Any attempt to be truly logical and dispassionate absolutely has to come with heaping portions of humility, self-reflection, and a willingness to be wrong.  It’s definitely true that a lot of people think of themselves as “logical and dispassionate” more as a matter of personal identity than sincere practice, and these people are all the more susceptible to prejudice and bias because they think they’re immune.  They’re often particularly biased against positions they see as driven by emotion, which can lead them to reflexively adopt and fiercely defend the opposite position.
  Still, I think OP is absolutely correct here.  Compassionate people are easily manipulated, especially by stories that paint others as victims, and they’re much more likely to dismiss anyone who disagrees with them as a “bad” person than listen to alternative viewpoints or consider conflicting evidence. >
  
  And people who think they're logical and dispassionate are frequently just as easy, if you just appeal to their egos or claim that anyone who disagrees is stupid and emotional, and unwilling to listen to reason. >
  
  Yup. >
  
  Everyone's got something. This is why I always say there's a cult or scam out there for everyone. >
  
  Well, this is pretty similar to the Paradox of Tolerance. "A tolerant society should not tolerate intolerance, or they will eventually become an intolerant society." >
  
  Something something feeling is not thinking something something.
  You hit this one out of the park, OP. Good show. >
  
  I feel like people with all personality types can be subjective to be honest. It's not just compassionate people.
