cultural relativism, radical feminism, identity politics, they all were spawned on university campuses by leftist professors because the academia is overwhelmingly dominated by leftist professors.
Then these dreadful ideas eventually seep their way into culture, into Hollywood, into journalism, into
you know, everything into business, into politics.
And so what ended up happening is in the pursuit of these parasitic ideas, people's empathy began to misfire, right?
So it's not nice to
you know, give a felon who's only been convicted 83 previous times not to give them another chance.
By other chance, it means the 84th time.
It's really not nice and it's mean to stop homeless people who are defecating, fornicating and shooting up acid where your children play.
to round them up and move them elsewhere that lacks empathy it lacks empathy when you don't allow every single person from around the world to just come through the borders and if we are truly empathetic then we should be giving them free health care and who cares about american vets who've lost their limbs if not their lives in defending the west and so what happens with suicidal empathy
is that it takes a noble virtue.
It's perfectly fine to be an empathetic person, right?
This is not an attack on empathy, but it's, as we know from Aristotle 2000 years ago, all good things in moderation.
It has to happen to the right people in the right situation and the right amounts.
Suicidal empathy
is the dysregulated application of an otherwise noble virtue like empathy.
I mean, from your lips to God's ear, I mean, I'd like to think there is some auto correction taking place.
So, for example, when Donald Trump
came to power.
By the way, just for your listeners who may not know who I am, I'm Canadian.
So it's not as though I voted in the American election.
