i don't know how broad or narrow you are talking, but switching off isn't the purview of the privileged; in fact it's a pretty well-known trauma response.

and i think it's a bad idea to persistently watch traumatic videos on the internet and believe that that is necessary to fighting fascism, unless your empathy really does not have any lasting power beyond the view you give the video. just an internet argument i've seen.

Yup.

My husband and I lost a friendship due to this. He has PTSD, and in response to her saying that going numb is a privilege, he told her that it can be a trauma response, something that he knows from experience. She told him to fuck off, and cut us out of her life.

I wonder, sometimes, why her response was so strong. What did it call up in her?

Sorry, this is mostly a non-sequitur.

I have to say that your husband is probably better without this person in his life

i'm sorry you lost a friend, but yeah, either that person doesn't want to confront something, or like a lot of people, her attempt to force people into empathy did not consider doing so with empathy.
