> while the right focuses their empathy inwardly (family values.)

Not true. Right idea of family valuea is not about empathy and does not have much elements of empathy. It is more about establishing hierarchy and punishing you if you step put of it.

It is not even like they would be more emphatic toward disabled close ones. They dont extend empathy toward abused or sexually harassed female familly member or kid. Or to gay familly member.

Inward focus of the right is toward the members of they political and social group.

> left expresses more empathy to those outside their immediate circles (caring for the planet)

Left do cares more about planet, but also toward close ones that need help. A lot of leftist activism is motivated by personal experiences and experiences of close ones.
