      Some people just seem “immune” to the idea of empathy. I’ve heard pundits half-jokingly talk about the “liberal brain virus”, but sometimes I wonder if it’s actually the other way around: a real mental disorder that makes it difficult or impossible to imagine the perspective of others.

      Of course, that’s just a guess based on absolutely nothing. It’s much more likely that some people are just selfish, insensitive pricks. They don’t get to escape responsibility for their behavior.
