I really don't trust people whose politics aren't based on empathy tbh

Sounds like UTILITARIANISM
I agree with the sentiment

I agree with the sentiment

does it being crossed out mean you don't?

I do but it's not the main point of my post and there's no spoiler tags here yet.

There's a very simple way to alleviate the collective suffering and pain of people, but most people don't like it.

Care to clarify?

There cannot be suffering if there's no one to suffer. Execution should be simple enough.
