Suicidal empathy

[Saint_Ann]

Suicidal empathy is a term coined by Canadian evolutionary psychologist and marketing professor Dr. Gad Saad in his book Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind. The term describes a psychological phenomenon where excessive, misdirected, or hyperactive empathy drives individuals or societies to make irrational decisions that ultimately harm their own long-term survival, security, and cultural values.

Political and Social Examples

Open Borders and Immigration: Proponents of the term argue that supporting unrestricted immigration or amnesty for individuals from cultures with incompatible values—at the expense of local law enforcement, national security, and cultural cohesion—is a primary example of self-destructive empathy.

Coddling Criminals: Prioritizing the rehabilitation, comfort, or lenient treatment of violent offenders while ignoring or minimizing the long-term trauma and safety needs of the victims.

Foreign Aid vs. Domestic Need: Directing substantial national financial resources toward foreign aid or global programs while domestic populations (such as veterans or disaster victims) struggle with unaddressed needs.

Identity and Athletic Policies: Allowing biological males who identify as transgender women to compete in female sports categories out of a desire to be inclusive, which critics argue erodes the safety and competitive rights of biological women.

And its homicidal Evil Twin is knowing that our libturds would happily sit and watch Those Whom They Approve Of In Power round up the likes of you and me and feed us a skull full of live ammo. Then they'd chatter-n-natter endlessly about how we "deserved" it. They were the ones turning the dial to 11/10 and cackling maniacally.

Shocking! Lol.

I'll never understand conservative people. But I love it when they out themselves as the cold-hearted, soulless bastards they are. Dr. Saad must attend the same church as Allie Beth Stuck - the Christian woman who literally wrote about how Jesus says she doesn't have to be nice to gay and/or brown people.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I'll never understand how libturds can lump all of the Not Us People into a lump as surely and tightly grouped as select groups that Stalin and/or Hitler eliminated. You know, "those people." It is like The Chosen but with extra speciality.

This is a very important discussion. I'll provide a paper from Alexander Hamilton and his concerns of uncontrolled migration as far back as 1802. It's an interesting read and more Americans should do their homework. Our politicians have deviated so far from our originalist. Controlling migration is now xenophobic. Being a nationalist is a healthy attitude for a nation. I don't know when we fell off the rails where having pride in ones country is a bad thing.

The Examination Number VIII, [12 January 1802]​

The Examination.1​

Number VIII.​

[New York, January 12, 1802]
Resuming the subject of our last paper we proceed to trace still farther, the consequences that must result from a too unqualified admission of foreigners, to an equal participation in our civil, and political rights.
The safety of a republic depends essentially on the energy of a common National sentiment; on a uniformity of principles and habits; on the exemption of the citizens from foreign bias, and prejudice; and on that love of country which will almost invariably be found to be closely connected with birth, education and family.
The opinion advanced in the Notes on Virginia2 is undoubtedly correct, that foreigners will generally be apt to bring with them attachments to the persons they have left behind; to the country of their nativity, and to its particular customs and manners. They will also entertain opinions on government congenial with those under which they have lived, or if they should be led hither from a preference to ours, how extremely unlikely is it that they will bring with them that temperate love of liberty, so essential to real republicanism? There may as to particular individuals, and at particular times, be occasional exceptions to these remarks, yet such is the general rule. The influx of foreigners must, therefore, tend to produce a heterogeneous compound; to change and corrupt the national spirit; to complicate and confound public opinion; to introduce foreign propensities. In the composition of society, the harmony of the ingredients is all important, and whatever tends to a discordant intermixture must have an injurious tendency.
The United States have already felt the evils of incorporating a large number of foreigners into their national mass; it has served very much to divide the community and to distract our councils, by promoting in different classes different predilections in favor of particular foreign nations, and antipathies against others. It has been often likely to compromit the interests of our own country in favor of another. In times of great public danger there is always a numerous body of men, of whom there may be just grounds of distrust; the suspicion alone weakens the strength of the nation, but their force may be actually employed in assisting an invader.
In the infancy of the country, with a boundless waste to people, it was politic to give a facility to naturalization;3 but our situation is now changed. It appears from the last census, that we have increased about one third in ten years;4 after allowing for what we have gained from abroad, it will be quite apparent that the natural progress of our own population is sufficiently rapid for strength, security and settlement. By what has been said, it is not meant to contend for a total prohibition of the right of citizenship to strangers, nor even for the very long residence which is now a prerequisite to naturalization, and which of itself, goes far towards a denial of that privilege. The present law was merely a temporary measure adopted under peculiar circumstances and perhaps demands revision.5 But there is a wide difference between closing the door altogether and throwing it entirely open; between a postponement of fourteen years and an immediate admission to all the rights of citizenship. Some reasonable term ought to be allowed to enable aliens to get rid of foreign and acquire American attachments; to learn the principles and imbibe the spirit of our government; and to admit of at least a probability of their feeling a real interest in our affairs. A residence of at least five years ought to be required.
If the rights of Naturalization may be communicated by parts, and it is not perceived why they may not, those peculiar to the conducting of business and the acquisition of property, might with propriety be at once conferred, upon receiving proof, by certain prescribed solemnities, of their intention to become citizens; postponing all political privileges to the ultimate term. To admit foreigners indiscriminately to the rights of citizens, the moment they put foot in our country, as recommended in the Message, would be nothing less, than to admit the Grecian Horse into the Citadel of our Liberty and Sovereignty.

Controlling migration is now xenophobic.

Nope. No one said that.

Being a nationalist is a healthy attitude for a nation.

It sounds like you can't tell patriotism from nationalism. The former is a good thing, although Americans do tend to take it a bit far. The latter is not.

I don't know when we fell off the rails where having pride in ones country is a bad thing.

That's because you're a sucker for your own propaganda.

 

[icanhelp1]

Nope. No one said that.

Gavin Newsom, Hakeem Jeffries, Chris Murphy, Adam Smith to name a few. Omar, Tlaib, a couple more.

It sounds like you can't tell patriotism from nationalism. The former is a good thing, although Americans do tend to take it a bit far. The latter is not.

That's because you're a sucker for your own propaganda.

Stop trying to conflate 1939 white nationalism with national pride.

You can have love of country as well as putting ones country first, it's called national pride.

I'm not a globalist like you. Middle America doesn't aspire to your globalist views.

Wat has wacko fantasies of shooting people in the head, and projects those fantasies onto “libturds”.

And no, the link has nothing to do with “libturds” wanting to shoot people. Loon.

Wat earns the Bat-Shit Crazy Award for today.

^^^^And here we have Major Malfunction fantasizing for someone else, anything to keep from taking ownership.

Don't even have to watch a podcast. Just watch news feeds that expose violence in the streets, attacks on federal agents doing their job while these nut cases are more interested in protecting criminal illegal migrants than our own citizens. The epitome of suicidal empathy with a blend of anarchy. DSA is gaining.

Understood. But Saad exposes the philosophical basis behind what we see.

I'm sure. I'll take a look at his pod cast. JFYI I posted earlier a paper from Alexander Hamilton where he describes the negative effects of uncontrolled migration. Our forefathers were concerned about this as far back as 1802. He didn't describe it as suicidal empathy, just suicidal.

 

[Chernosoth]

I don't believe the situation is excessive empathy. It looks more like the salary class chose an empathy spin for their selfishness. They want cheap products and low wages for the underclasses to keep them under, controlled, and available for derision. They can't feel superior if there's nobody inferior.

 

[Rebel5soul]

The founders were well aware of uncontrolled migration, invasion, across the millennia. Nor were they the first or last to raise that warning flag.

 

[Rebel5soul]

I don't believe the situation is excessive empathy. It looks more like the Democrats chose an empathy spin for their selfishness. They want cheap products and low wages for the underclasses to keep them under, controlled, and available for derision. They can't feel superior if there's nobody inferior.

Looks kinda like slavery, what?

The Dems have a certain history with the unsavoriness of the Nineteenth century and the first half of the Twentieth.

Fredrick Douglas identified the ultra-libs tendency to turn one form of slavery into another masquerading it as "concern." I think one real-life analogy would be the helicopter parent.

As was said:

Malcolm X famously described white liberals as more dangerous to Black Americans than white conservatives, famously using the analogy of the "fox" and the "wolf". He argued that while conservatives openly oppose equality (like a wolf), liberals pretend to be friends and benefactors (like a fox) to deceitfully use Black voters as political pawns. [1, 2]

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Hey, at least you made "the list."

Yeah, and it seems that I sit around and think of nothing but murder all day, too.


Not sure when I find the time to get all this shit done, however.

 

[glamorilla]

We've allowed several generations to teach that being American is something to be ashamed of.
