Gurwinder at The Prism links to the Oxytocin Paradox research
Oxytocin, the “love hormone”, can also make people spiteful. Cruelty is not simply the opposite of compassion, it’s often adjacent to it. For instance, the platform most dominated by “social justice” advocates—Bluesky—is also the one with the highest support for assassinations. Beware of those quick to show empathy, for they are often just as quick to show barbarity.

"Empathy" used a lot in that link.

Makes perfect sense. Empathy toward one person or set of people can lead to hostility against those who threaten or are perceived to threaten that person or group.
@ Donna B - exactly where I got it.
I know, but I found some of the other links so very interesting
