A form of guilt tripping, where someone tries to shame people for supposedly lacking empathy by falsely conflating their beliefs with the causes of various tragedies, on the basis of anecdotal evidence. Often used to stereotype entire groups of supposedly privileged people as part of a vast evil, inhuman conspiracy to keep the oppressed masses subjugated, especially in identity-politics and neo marxist circles. Also employed as a form of virtue-signaling
Idpollers constantly engage in empathy trolling on social media to milk political and social capital for themselves and their cause, out of tragedies.
