Major roadblocks to empathy are:

  1. Poverty
  2. Lack of education
  3. Fear

Unfortunately all are things politicians (especially from certain parties) are prone to intentionally exacerbating.
Not without coincidence, these things are also major roadblocks for ditching religion.

I think that's correct, it's hard to empathize on an empty belly and rent due in a week. Number 2 leads to 1 in many cases because we have a bizarre society. 3 comes from perpetual 1 and 2.
