Suicidal Empathy": The War Over Who Matters Is as Old as America

Chip Roy of Texas, defending the SAVE Act on the House floor, called the enemy "this age of progressive, suicidal empathy." Not a policy objection. Empathy itself — the act of caring whether a law harms people — is the pathology. The people who notice the harm aren't political opponents. They're carriers. He's not alone. Elon Musk told Joe Rogan that empathy is "a bug in Western civilization" — engineering language, deliberate. A design flaw to be patched out. Gad Saad wrote a book calling it "maladaptively irrational altruism." Conservative pastors are preaching that empathy is toxic, dangerous, aligned with hell. They're not hiding what they want. They want a society in which solidarity is the disease and the cure is its removal. Take them at their word. Because once you do, a lot of things that seem confusing get very clear.

:{The corporate retreat from DEI wasn't cowardice. McDonald's, Deloitte, JPMorgan, Meta, Amazon, Target, Walmart — they didn't agonize. They moved. Faster than anyone predicted. Because there was nothing to overcome. The post-Floyd diversity commitments were risk calculations, not convictions. When the cultural wind shifted, the institutions didn't cave. They exhaled. Scholars like Stephen Levitsky say the problem is fear, and the prescription is courage. Rally leaders to find their nerve. Remind them who they are. Hold them accountable to commitments they made. That seems to be going well. If the values were never there, none of that works. You can't rally people to a position they were performing. You can't hold them accountable to commitments they were managing.

"Remember your values" doesn't land when suicidal is the word they chose to describe yours. This isn't new. American resistance gets stopped at predictable chokepoints — when movements must move outside sanctioned channels, when they must surface from covert action into open confrontation. But there's a third chokepoint that doesn't get named enough: the discovery that your coalition was never your coalition. That the people who showed up when it was safe were managing their exposure to you, not expressing solidarity with you. The speed of their departure is the diagnostic. They weren't overcome. They were waiting. The argument about who counts, whose suffering matters, whether empathy is strength or weakness — it's older than this republic. I'd date it to 1676. The side arguing that empathy is weakness has had the structural advantage for the entire history of the country. The Constitution was built to protect the interests of people who didn't want to care about the people they were excluding. So stop mistaking moral clarity for a strategy of persuasion. Some people have decided that other people's suffering doesn't count. Your coalition is smaller than you thought. It always was. Build power with those who reject that. And let the rest go.
