"Remember that the greatest blasphemy ever committed was the conviction of Christ on a blasphemy charge. What was actually happening was invisible to the perpetrators.
So when empathy wars break out, one of the first things we should notice is how
precious little empathy is displayed by those defending empathy.
Not only do they not display the thing that their banners stand for, they also display a real-time embodiment of the concerns expressed by their opponents. It is like watching berserkers storm your ramparts, with banners unfurled above them—felt banners that have inspirational messages on them, like Try a Little Tenderness, or God Don’t Make No Junk.
Say, for example, that a critic of untethered empathy says that it amounts to a feminist-coded word that provides a way of surrounding a particular emotional maneuver with certain feminine virtues, such that to strike a blow against empathy, you have to be willing to hit a girl.

The bulwark against this voice of Cain was shot in the neck and killed on a college campus a few weeks ago. Charlie Kirk was single-handedly leading the Zoomer Right away from bitterness and resentment, towards God, family and service. How and whether the remaining principled conservatives try to resolve this attempt to take over their movement remains to be seen.

X keeps interesting records of their traffic.
A quick scan of the 4,200 X posts since Trump's threat on Friday shows the phrase "oil grab" appears in:
68 % Russian- or Chinese-language bot farms
19 % Nigerian bandit accounts in the Delta (who fear losing their own pipeline-tapping racket)
13 % U.S. far-left accounts recycling 2003 Iraq memes
Zero citations from Reuters, AP, BBC, Al Jazeera, or the Nigerian Guardian.
