No it isn't.
Empathy is the putting yourself in someone elses position and imagining that it was done to you. What you are talking about is the subversion or negating of empathy by propaganda. By making you see people as "other" you can treat them as less than human because you no longer see them as analogous to yourself and this lessens the ability to use empathy for them.

I have never removed basic rights from anyone! do you mean the knee jerk reactions of idiots to events, I think you do.
Quote:This is NO Different than what Osama did. That's what Empthay is! It's sympathy for those in whom you've been trained to identify with. Take away their humanity with mindless propaganda and all empathy ceases.
That's true, but making empathy not work sometimes, or that it can be lessened does not negate the fact that that it is the root of morals.
All human interactions can be manipulated.
So what?
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
