Yes. This graphic is rapidly becoming the most misused and misunderstood image in all of modern history. Despite what its spreaders claim, it doesn’t show that liberals care *less* about those close to them than animals strangers etc. It simply shows that they tend to *also* care about further away things AS WELL - if you read the original study, you’ll see the (admittedly idiotic) color grading was meant to show only the distribution of EDGES of the two groups’ moral circles, NOT the distribution of their FOCUS.

And frankly, anyone with an iota of reason could figure that out if they actually sat down and thought about it… there’s basically no one on earth who truly cares about a total stranger or rock or insect etc MORE than their friends, which is what this chart would imply if interpreted this way. Not even crazy ass wokies have such an inverted moral circle, coz they too care about their “tribe” (ie whatever intersectional micro culture they champion) above others, much like everyone else does. It’s classic culture wars propaganda, but this time, it’s right wing brains who turn to mush upon seeing it, because confirmation bias.
Catnip for conservatives. Here’s what that graphic actually represents in the study, in case it somehow still isn’t clear:

He is correct... and one of the most egregious examples of crony capitalism is the corrupt alliance between the Chinese-owned Smithfield Foods and senators like @SenJoniErnst , who are trying to push through a backhanded deal to FORCE gestation-crated pork back onto states which have already voted to ban it.

Pay attention to the "Farm Bill" they're trying to sneak in through Brooke Rollins - it's a complete f-you to Republican values of states' rights of self determination, it hurts small farmers, and it is terrible for American health. Hidden within the new Farm Bill is something called the EATS act. EATS is almost entirely backed by Big Pork, because they lost a 2018 ballot measure in CA ensuring that the pork produced and sold in the state come from farms where pigs don't live in these hellish, infected conditions.

Here’s a 30 second video of what gestation crates are - they're so small that pigs can't even turn around or lie down properly, and they're forced to stay in these for most of their lives. Eleven states have voted to ban or restricted them, but Big Pork is fighting tooth and nail to force them back upon them:
