How to Draw on Compassion for Its Understanding?

There are two trends we can observe in the discipline to day. One is an emphasis on the necessity of studying so called white nationalistsand the other is an anchoring of maybe discourses on compassion. So my question would be, how to grapple with the first figure, and how to draw on on compassion for its understanding? I think there's a really interesting split between what is most useful politically,. like what we imagine are the most useful politics to make the actual material changes we want to see in the world, and what is is really useful as part of field work.
