They certainly didn't lack compassion. Like, if you were one of theirs, they'd give you the shirt off their back and infinite second chances. 2 of the kindest, most caring people you'd ever meet.... But yeah, they were also very capable of dehumanizing people and not giving a damn.

How tf could an actually compassionate person bend their brain to be like this? Personally helping others is ok, but doing it systematically via the state isn't?

I think it really helps if you think of some people as people and other people as "people".

Compassion goes well beyond those you see as family. The fact that they actually complained about children getting free breakfast at school, of all places, proves that they weren't compassionate. They take care of the people close to them, and ONLY the people close to them.
