CTP (S4EJulSpecial2) Toxic/Suicidal Empathy Redux

CTP (S4EJulSpecial2) Toxic/Suicidal Empathy Redux
Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond - all in Biblical perspective
We challenge the idea that compassion is automatically good, and we argue that empathy without truth can become enabling that harms the very people it claims to protect. We connect “toxic empathy” and “suicidal empathy” to politics, media, and personal ethics by measuring intentions against outcomes. 
• defining toxic empathy and why it spreads easily 
• examples of “help” that turns into enabling 
• abortion and euthanasia framed as empathy claims 
• the “suicidal empathy” label and why it resonates 
• journalism standards, media bias, and the need for fact-checking 
• intentions versus actions and judging results by “fruit” 
• empathy grounded in reality plus the able versus unwilling distinction

Welcome And Segment Roadmap

SPEAKER_01 0:00

Hello, welcome to another episode of Institutionalist Podcast. I am your host, Joseph M. Leonard. That's L-E-N-A-R-T. It looks French. It's not it's wonderful, I don't know. Thank you for tuning in. As Bram Norton used to say on his show, let's get on with the show. Okay, let's see if I can get this right in my head. I'm messing with the platform, messing with the uh formula is the word I meant to say. Uh July the first is a Wednesday. Normally that would be a guest on. But today for July the 1st, I want to share a previous video exclusive Toxic Empathy 2. It'll be extended because there was a toxic empathy, but now there's toxic empathy 2. So but let's get to it. Hello everybody, let me apologize. This is a bit of a disjointed episode. Why? Because I I actually recorded a third segment, technically a second to toxic empathy video exclusive, which will now be the third segment because this isn't the first segment. I'm sorry, I've not confused you already. Hard to keep it straight in my own head. Toxic Empathy. I did a video exclusive on that. I did season three, episode 147, presenting the prior video exclusive. Well, there needs to be updates. So I'm not sure what episode number this is gonna air as, but indeed it is prior video exclusive, toxic empathy, plus some additional thoughts on the end because yeah, sad. Sad or sad? Suicidal empathy. So I'll get into that into the third segment. So enough of this brief introduction segment. Yeah, part will be a repeat of the video exclusive and season three, episode 147. But I think there's enough space between when that aired and now that it's gonna be fresh for most people. Thank you all. Take care, God bless, love you all. Let's get into the toxic empathy discussion. I normally don't promote other people's books. I mean, yes.

Discovering The Idea Of Toxic Empathy

SPEAKER_01 3:00

I've had authors on all the time, able to talk about writing and their books promote their book. I'm happy to do that. But I mean like a movie review. Uh uh I do those on occasion and promote movies I like. I've even had books slash authors weeks, October of 2025. That ran for what, I think three weeks, various authors on it, but I normally don't do this. What is this? Well, I'm talking about going to indeed talk directly myself, my personal thoughts on someone else's book. And recently I I just came from Nana's kitchen again, and I was just thinking about, you know, people, people in general. There's someone there that's got TDS that's like she's I know she's a great person, but that's what brought this thought about, and I think most people want to be good people, and e Matthew 23, fakes, frauds, vipers, snakes, false guides, blind guide Christians want to be good people, they think they're good people, but they're misled, they're easily duped. And why am I saying this? The book I'm talking about? Toxic Empathy. Perfect timing, absolute great book, very important book. Beyond my books, of course, you should be reading all my books, especially my constitutional series educational series of books, but toxic empathy nails it. People who are want to be good, and the problem is feel they're good people, they don't like the wise at the right, fool to the left, like the feelings of a fool, feeling of leftist fools. The Bible predicted this. Prophesies are my left-right political paradigm. They're not thinkers, they don't think anything through. What are you doing, Boo? I'm hearing commotion in the kitchen. What are you doing, Boo? The cat, Boo the cat. Settle down in their spasmatic. Anyway, toxic empathy. Yes, he's oh like the people who think it's compassionate and so empathetic

When Compassion Turns Into Enabling

SPEAKER_01 6:06

to give free clean needles to heroin addicts. You're not being compassionate, you're an enabler to bad habits, something that could kill them. You're not helping them, you're helping them commit suicide. But these same people, of course, are all for abortion, murdering children. Oh, that's somehow empathy too. Murder children who have had no life yet, done nothing to no one, uh, and are for euthanasia, they're easily duped into because of toxic empathy. Perfect book, great book, absolute necessary for a time. Most people want to be good, most people feel, I almost said think, feel they're good, right? And my whole life and living series of books about trying to sew good, be better ourselves, reflecting, look at Michael Jackson-esque, look at the man or woman in the mirror, asking them to change their way, be a better person. Rick Springfield karma album, the karma song itself. Uh uh the line, the line, my line, my line. Now I'm thinking of an old Detroit Zoo commercial. Uh yeah, that line, oh, yeah, every little love I give to another, you know what I believe? It comes back to me. You don't have to be a Christian to believe that sentiment. But it's not biblical, not in the Bible or of from the Bible, but it's very biblical. And also Springfield's prayer, kind of like Michael Jackson's song. I send a prayer to heaven for the chance to be a better man than the man, man or woman, than the man I man or woman that I see, reflected in my mirror, wanting to be better, not being foolish and falling for the woke, toxic empathy. Most people are good. Most people might be liberal, not leftist, as I go into in my constitutionalist education series. As Dennis Prager says, there's a difference between a classical liberal who feels their way, but are duped by the left hard, woke, idiocy, nonsense, toxic empathy. They're misled, they're misguided. Hope and you can reach a classical liberal still like Brandon Strack, spelled Strack, pronounced Strack, created the walk away movement, a gay white guy, right? And Candace Owens, I know she red pilled, but she's gone, she's more retard pilled of late with her nuttiness. So she's not a great example, but yeah, she got red-pilled, but now she's moved on to overdosing on retard pills. But she created Blexit. The Blexit movement is still uh something sound, solid, good, uh, even though she's gone woo-hoo at Cypher still, right? Insane in the membrane. Okay. Not toxic empathy, toxic overthink. I write you can we want, I want you to be a thinker. I don't want you to be an overthinker in a way, like toxic thinking. I uh maybe I should write that book. Toxic thinking. Candace Owen, a case study, is the subtitle. Anyway, I toxic empathy. I recommend the book. I do, I really do. All right, I've rambled enough. This has gone longer than it needs to be. I think I've laid out everything that needs to be said. Thank you all. Take care. God bless. Love you all. Well, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Toxic Empathy, segment four.

The New Label Suicidal Empathy

SPEAKER_01 10:40

The audio got screwed up. I recorded it days ago. Now I gotta try to record it again today. I'm not sure what all I said in that. So this is probably gonna be pretty short as far as this segment goes, and we'll we'll do some Suno music and book trailer. But the reason I needed to revisit talk it to Can't Talk again. Here we go. Hit record, can't talk. Toxic Empathy is because Ged Sad, say, sad, sad. I'm not sure even how to pronounce his name, but he's are there all over Fox News and some of the other channels because apparently he has some connections to Fox News and other news personalities. By seeing Tyrus on Gutfeld introduced the term suicidal empathy. And why? Why need to play off toxic empathy? Well, because Gad said decided to write his book. Now, I'm not sure I haven't read either, so I understand the concept here, and I would recommend both books actually, though it might be a bit of a carbon copy of toxic empathy, and he's calling it suicidal empathy. Or uh what else did I hear somebody else say the other day? But regardless, however you want to characterize the less way overboard of empathy emotion he is right. It's like I think I said this before in uh the full recording that got lost. Bernard Goldberg wrote a book called Bias. Very good book. Bernard Goldberg, a very

Why Facts Matter In Journalism

SPEAKER_01 13:00

well respected journalist, and I'm gonna tack on clickbait everywhere on the end of this, but there's more to real journalism than just citing what someone claims. That's the problem nowadays. Most of these people are reporters to just what do you think about XYZ? And so-and-so says something, like a Chucky Schumer says something, and they CNN and the MS imbeciles just run with it as if it's fact, no fact-checking, no reality check, which whatever delusional nonsense the left wants to peddle, they just pass it along as if it's reality. That real journalism, who, what, why, where, when, and how. I took journalism classes, I wrote for the high school newspaper, I remember those things. You can quote someone, and if you're quoting both sides, like you quote Chuck Schumer, and then can't quote a uh Mike Johnson speaker of the House, that's still not good enough. Both might be shading the truth a bit, and you need to deal in the facts, state where they're factual and state where they're delusional. Both sides hold all sides accountable. But Bernard Goldberg wrote a book called Bias, and then a few years later, Ann Coulter came out with a hyperpartisan right-wing version of basically the same thing called Slander. Well, yes, I've read both those books. Yes, I like both those books, but if you're gonna read just one of them, you want to read Bernhard Goberg's bias, because it's actually written like a real journalist would write, not like Ann's hyperpartisan portrayal of everything. But GadSad now has wrote suicidal empathy. I think it's the same thing as toxic empathy, hypersonic overreactive empathy. Should I write a book now with that title? On the same things again, I've not read either of them. I understand the concept, so I could write a book on it called hyperactive overextended empathy and cover the same basic things and be completely original because I've not read either of them. I'm not gonna try to copy either of them. I could do that, but no, I'm not like that. I'm not trying to cash in on somebody else. So I'm not doing that. But anyway, we needed to do an update to toxic empathy to point out that indeed toxic empathy, suicidal empathy, over hyperactive empathy, if you want to use my term. Whatever, it's the same thing. It's this silly notion of taking Christianity

Empathy For Grievances And Delusions

SPEAKER_01 16:28

out of context that you're supposed to be sympathetic and empathetic. It's the old saying, you know, uh, don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out. And that's what's here. Don't be so sympathetic or empathetic and so in tune with your feelings. Oh, touchy feelings. Oh my god, what is your grievance? Oh, I can empathize with again. Their grievance may be based on unicorn fart fantasy delusion, not reality based. So empathy for empathy's sake is just stupid. It's dumb, it's moronic, whatever other term you want to use. So, anyway, I think I've covered the same things I covered in the recording from before that somehow the audio was lost, and therefore I had to record this segment. I'm running a little long now. So, toxic empathy, suicidal empathy, over hyperactive, emotional hysterics, empathy, whatever you want to call it, it's the same thing, and the left is deploying it because why identity politics and touchy-feely stupidity is all they've got. They can't talk policy, their policy fails. Their intentions, oh, but our intention, I don't care what your intentions are.

Intentions Do Not Excuse Harm

SPEAKER_01 18:10

I don't care what you say, Uncle Festerman. I'm talking to you. I watch how you vote, and 93% of the time you are doing exactly as Chucky Schumer and George Shoros and whatever his son's name is, you're doing their bidding. I don't care what you're saying, I watch what you do. You shall be known by your fruits. I don't care what your intentions are, what are your actions doing? Oh, well, I want to help, but if your help is hurting, that's what matters. What are you sowing? What is being reaped from what you were? Oh, I think these are great seeds, and you plant them, and rotten, poisonous fruit comes up, and people are dying from the rotten, poisonous fruit you've sown. That's what you are judged on biblically. The content of your character is what you say is one thing, but the things you do are completely another. And yes, we are to judge. Final judgment is for the Lord, but we are to all remove the law from thine own eye. Start there, judge yourself and all others properly, standards, biblical standards. Okay, I'm gonna wrap it up here. Thank you all. Take care. God bless us. We'll go into a couple Suno songs and book trailer or trailers, I'm not sure exactly at this point. Thank you all, take care, God bless, love you all. Avoid the toxic, yes, be sympathetic and empathetic to people who are dealing in reality.

Able Versus Unwilling Distinction

SPEAKER_01 20:06

Again, the Bible says there's a distinction between the unable and the unwilling. If someone who is unwilling is just trying to peddle off that they are unable and therefore just give them things. No, no, no, it don't work that way. Thank you all. Take care.
