I think you have failed to understand empathy, also one can have empathy with people and still resist them when they attack you, this should be obvious but you I have noticed have a problem with empathy

See, right there you think you're empathizing with me but in reality you're failing miserably. You see what you want to see instead of what is.

I see your actions and your statements, I should see something else? I think your trolltastic but that isn't empathy I don't know you, and a radical fascist position over the internet is not likely to make me , but unlike you I leave hunting you down and killing you to locals that know what you are personally

I really think you need to look up the definition of fascist. Then look in a mirror and make a frank and earnest assessment of your own words and actions.
