The concept of "Redistribution of Empathy," as articulated by Eric Weinstein, refers to a process in which empathy is selectively reallocated or directed away from certain individuals or groups experiencing harm, toward others who may be perpetrators of harm, claimants of victimhood for ideological reasons, or figures aligned with specific narratives. This reallocation is observed in cultural, social, and ideological contexts where empathy becomes a tool for social signaling, moral competition, or ideological enforcement rather than a balanced response to suffering.
