You dont each them so they can claim to be a "good person"

You teach them so they stop harrassing actual good people and stop teaching their children evil shit

If you have to be personally effected to realise something is bad, you are a piece of shit. Hands down. With that reasoning altruism simply wouldnt exist.

It's not about allowing them to claim it, it's about having experiences that teach you empathy. You aren't born with it and neither are they.

You have had experiences that have led you to having empathy about that subject before they did. But guess what, if that person is able to recognize their faults and go forward with empathizing with that thing, they're likely to apply that same thinking to other matters just like you did.
