Suicidal Empathy

Wikipedia:

Suicidal empathy is a purported phenomenon in which excessive, misdirected and pathological forms of empathy are claimed to be destructive for the party that exhibits it. This is often claimed to happen through prioritizing compassion, understanding and empathy over logic, and long-term consequences. There is no support for this concept in psychology, and its proponents are not psychologists or sociologists. This phrase was coined by professor of evolutionary psychology Gad Saad.

The phrase "suicidal empathy" is commonly used by culture warriors, right-wing figures, and Christian nationalists to condemn empathy towards groups such as immigrants and racial minorities, often in association with the Great Replacement conspiracy theory.[1][2] It has been referred to as a "right-wing buzzword" by The Bulwark.[3] ...

In a 2025 interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, Elon Musk uses the phrase "civilizational suicidal empathy" to refer to what he believes is the corrosion of American culture.[8] According to Musk, suicidal empathy refers to "weaponized" empathy to bring about political and policy modifications.[9][10][11]

I guess the editors do not want anyone using the term. It says psychologists do not use the term, and that the term was coined by a psychologist!

This was on display at the Supreme Court yesterday, as it was argued that birth tourists and illegal alien children should automatically become citizen because of some Civil War Reconstruction language.
