First of all that was just a "nuh uh." But,

Likewise this means you have to accept that there are many people, due to their upbringing and the principles they've adopted in life, that wouldn't destroy a corner shop for no reason.

No human chose how to be brought into the world. Your argument is not substantive.

Empathy is the path forward. Othering outgroups is not. We have plenty of research to back this up.

Your argument is not substantive.

Well if your rebuttal is simply determinism then I think you'll find that nobody's arguments can possibly contain any substance.

Empathy is the path forward.

Agreed.

Othering outgroups is not

Nobody has been othered. In fact using it in this way dilutes the word as its simply rhetoric intended to censor discussion behind a purity test.
