This is a weird question to ask on a website which you probably know, that doesn't give a shit about such things at all.

I'd say "Welcome to Voat", but your account is 11 months old already... You should know by now that mindless circlejerking is the norm around here.

Dont make this political like the people youre trying to bash. Children getting killed is never good.

Because a certain amount of empathy and sympathy for the suffering of life other than you and your immediate in-group is healthy. Do you literally not care even the slightest smallest amount? Or do you just not care enough for it to measurably influence other priorities that are much more important to you? There's a big difference between the two. Practically speaking it's not a big difference, but morally it's an important difference.

Why does my empathy have to extend to them? For all you know I could already volunteer at shelters and shit.

It doesn't have to extend to them, but people, who do have at least a tinsy amount of empathy for all living creatures that can feel pain, will likely view you as a monster if you literally feel nothing for them. That's pretty much the only disadvantage, unless you want to be viewed as a monster by many people. I'm not saying that it should determine whether people view you as a monster, but that's just the way it is.

If truth is not derived from a logical system, based on admittedly arbitrary axioms, where the system does not create logical contradictions, then the truths derived from this system should be questioned. Feel free to bash post-modernism, but my approach is purely objective.
