I follow him on Bluesky, seems like a nice guy, who thinks about the poor people. He is kind I think. Maybe Kindness is about not being so focused on the self (the individual) and hence the word collective maybe.

Kindness is a great characteristic. When applied on the personal level - giving generously to those less fortunate - it's commendable. When applied on the population level - unless that population is a small tribe - it requires theft and violence. The good thing is that the less you have of the latter, the more room there is for the former. (Even though I totally disagree with most of his policies, I was very sympathetic to Mamdani in this election for various reasons. And I sympathize with his supporters who are fed up with the current system.)
