I wonder if one can get the full pleasure out of seeing a Nazi punched
WITHOUT experiencing empathy.

I feel like this came up in vFriam recently when DJT caught the virus. I
mentioned having empathy then and that empathy was rooted in knowing what it
is like to be sick. I am not sure empathy requires wanting something for
another, wanting them to be well for instance. To some extent, this seems
like a difference wrt sympathy where one has a reactive component. To some
extent, I may wish to see a nazi punched and still empathize with the
experience of being punched.
