SELECTIVE EMPATHY: caring about suffering only when it fits your own biases, identity, or political side. A person with selective empathy shows concern for certain groups, victims, or situations while ignoring or excusing harm to others. This right here 👇🏾

It’s hard to ignore the pattern. My daughter Katie’s death was a devastating, preventable tragedy, yet too often her story has been disrespected or erased. Meanwhile, Illinois leaders like Governor JB Pritzker, Senator Dick Durbin, and Tammy Duckworth have been far more vocal in cases that align with their political priorities, especially when it comes to criticizing federal agencies. That contrast raises real questions. Why do some tragedies get immediate acknowledgment while others are met with silence? Why do some families feel heard, while others feel invisible? This isn’t about left or right. It’s about consistency. When leaders ignore certain victims for ideological or political reasons, it erodes trust. Every life deserves recognition. Empathy shouldn’t be selective. Leadership shouldn’t depend on the narrative. Watch my opening statement at yesterday’s Senate Judiciary Republicans hearing👇

🔴To the selective activists suddenly speaking about children now: where were you when Iranian kids were being killed during the protests? Where were you when teenagers were beaten, imprisoned, and executed for demanding basic freedoms? Where were you when childre were being indoctrinated and used by the regime for decades? Don't suddenly discover your empathy only when it fits your narrative or political agenda. If you truly care about children, you care about them all the time, not only when it's convenient. #Iran #IranWar2026

🚨 IRONY ALERT: Andrew Tate lectures the women on the Fresh & Fit Podcast about how women as a whole are narcissistic. Here are some traits of narcissists that are often used by clinicians as a guideline: 1. Grandiose sense of self-importance Exaggerates achievements, status, or talents; presents themselves as exceptional or elite. 2. Constant need for admiration Seeks praise, attention, validation, or loyalty; reacts poorly to criticism. 3. Sense of entitlement Expects special treatment, obedience, or exceptions to rules. 4. Lack of empathy Shows little concern for others’ feelings, harm, or suffering. 5. Exploitative behaviour Uses others for personal gain, status, or image. 6. Preoccupation with power, dominance, or success Obsessive focus on winning, status hierarchies, control, or superiority. 7. Fragile ego beneath confidence Becomes defensive, hostile, or vindictive when challenged or contradicted. 8. Devaluation of others Regularly belittles, insults, or dismisses people as weak, inferior, or stupid. 9. Externalisation of blame Rarely accepts fault; failures are blamed on enemies, systems, or “haters.” The complete lack of self-awareness of this man. I don't think anyone on earth fits these characteristics better than Andrew Tate. I am not diagnosing anyone; this is my speculative opinion.

Narcissists don’t lack empathy, they have low, performative, transactional, and variable empathy. Dr. Ramani Durvasula explains: They can read the room, cry at movies, and seem caring when it benefits them or when they feel safe and valued. But the empathy disappears when they’re not getting what they want. It’s why partners get confused, one day they’re loving and attentive, the next day they shut down. Research on narcissistic personality disorder shows that while cognitive empathy (understanding others' feelings) is often intact, affective empathy (sharing those feelings) is significantly impaired, leading to the variable, performative, and transactional patterns commonly observed.

Gad Saad just nailed why toxic empathy is so harmful. Empathy itself is healthy and evolutionary, we need it to connect as a social species. But when it hyper-fires or gets aimed at the wrong targets, it becomes toxic empathy. He compared it to germ OCD: washing your hands after shaking a sick person’s hand is smart. Washing them for 8 hours until your skin peels off? That’s the mechanism gone wrong. Same with empathy. Aristotle called it the golden mean 2000+ years ago — too little makes you a psychopath, too much makes you self-destructive. In a culture that celebrates unlimited empathy as a supreme virtue, many are burning themselves out or getting exploited. When we direct endless compassion toward people or ideas that actively undermine our own societies, it leads to self-sabotage on a civilizational scale. Boundaries matter. Where do you draw the line between healthy empathy and toxic empathy?

Well said Ben. Labor’s selective outrage is pure hypocrisy. They scream “misogyny” only when it comes from their political opponents, but stay silent, or even excuse it when it comes from their own side. This is the party that obsesses over women’s quotas, “equality,” and female representation in cabinet… yet when their own leader makes crude comments, the principles suddenly vanish.

Toxic empathy is not the love of Christ. Feeling for others by excusing harmful behavior in the name of empathy is not compassion or love. True love speaks truth, and calls people to responsibility because that’s what is truly best for them. All compassion must be tempered with Wisdom and Truth. We can end up supporting harmful things when we use our feelings and not the Word to rightly judge right from wrong.

Listening to this imam speak about the fate of Igbo Muslims in Eastern Nigeria is shocking and deeply disturbing. Being targeted, prosecuted, or harmed for one’s faith is a tragedy that demands empathy, dialogue, and urgent attention. Silence only allows suffering to continue.

To the women using their platforms to cry about ICE, You are not virtuous. Your vulnerability to be so easily manipulated by a political party's agenda that you do not understand is pathetic. It should be shamed and you should all be embarrassed. Where were the tears for the tens of thousands killed in Iran in recent weeks—protesters gunned down by their own regime simply for demanding basic human rights and the right not to starve? Where was the outrage for the thousands of American victims murdered by illegal immigrants who had no legal right to be in our country? Where was the grief for the children trafficked into sex slavery, enabled and exacerbated by open-border policies under the Biden administration? Where was the concern for the hundreds of thousands of women across Europe who have been raped at the hands of migrants from Muslim-majority countries? Where was the mourning for Charlie Kirk who was assassinated in cold blood for peacefully sitting down with a microphone and answering questions—not driving a car into an officer or actively seeking confrontation with one while armed? You have either stayed silent on the above or celebrated Charlie's murder. This is selective empathy at its most transparent—activated only when it fits Democratic narratives. It isn't principled compassion; it's performative politics. It doesn't deserve applause; it deserves scrutiny and shame. When your empathy is conditional on political alignment, you are morally bankrupt and inconsistent. If you are exercising your constitutional right to speak freely and critique the government on your platform, do so with a deeper gratitude for how and why you’re able to do that without being jailed or killed. Leftist women in America represent the height of privilege: loud, ungrateful, and utterly disconnected from the realities of true oppression around the world.

🚨🇺🇸 ELON REDEFINES “DEEP EMPATHY,” AND IT MAKES PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE Elon is pushing back on the modern rebrand of empathy, arguing it’s been hijacked to excuse policies that hurt innocent people. The point is sharp: when repeat offenders are cycled back onto the streets, the people who suffer aren’t abstractions, but victims who never get press conferences or hashtags. Empathy that ignores consequences isn’t compassion… it’s a feel-good slogan with a body count: “We want to have empathy for our fellow human beings, and of course we want to… but we need to have empathy that is deep, not shallow. Deep empathy is caring about the victims of the criminals. So why do we have repeat violent offenders released on the streets, often with no bail? It’s crazy. They prey upon innocent people, and our streets are not safe. How can America be the greatest country in the world, and we don’t even have safe streets?” Source: Lacey, Elon Musk

Well Ray, you may have selective memory, so allow me to give you a refresher. We spoke about it for a good minute or so before this interview we had at Pacheco-Nelson in January, where I briefly mentioned it again here. Continue to do your thing. Best of luck. #Boxing

No. Jesus Christ suicidal empathy at its finest. This was absolutely deserved. The Skrulls are a multi-galactic tyrannical empire who either enslaves or genocides other races, if not both. They planned to do the same to earth without remorse if our natural defenses weren't so strong. They are not victims. If someone breaks into your house with the intent to harm your family, you are within your rights to end them in self-defense. If an alien species comes to take over your home, you don't give them empathy or benefit of the doubt... you RIP AND TEAR THAT XENO SCUM TO A SUNDER!

KABOOM!! JUST IN: AG Pam Bondi just UNLEASHED the FULL Epstein Files under the Transparency Act, ALL 3.5 MILLION pages DROPPED, redactions JUSTIFIED only for victims, and HIGH-PROFILE names EXPOSED with ZERO cover-ups for embarrassment or politics. “No records withheld or redacted based on embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity to ANY official, public figure, or foreign dignitary!” This BACKFIRED BIGLY on the left, powerful Dems like Bill Clinton (mentioned 1,193 times!) and others BUSTED, while fake smears against Trump called out as BS! VINDICATION for Trump!

Oh, really? Mohammed Zubair What about when my photo was edited with the Prime Minister and circulated by people at the CJP protest at Jantar Mantar? When will you speak about that? If using AI or edited images to insult and demean women is wrong, then it should be wrong in every case, regardless of religion or politics. Don’t make it a matter of selective outrage.🧐 Delhi Police BJP Delhi When will you take action against this person? 🧐

Stop Making Excuses for Radicalism A society that stays silent while vulnerable girls are targeted, exploited, or brutalized is a society that has abandoned its moral duty. Whether it is grooming gangs that prey on children or terrorist groups that weaponize sexual violence, the common denominator is the same: radical extremism thrives when fear, political correctness, and selective outrage replace justice. Victims deserve truth, not denial. Criminals deserve prosecution, not excuses. Radical ideologies that glorify violence against innocents must be confronted with the full force of the law, without double standards and without hesitation. Protect the vulnerable. Expose the radicals. Stand with the victims. #FightingRadicals

Senator Markwayne Mullin was asked what President Trump was like. Mullin offered insights into President Trump's personality, describing him as both humorous and compassionate. Mullin noted that Trump isn't afraid to tease you about your shoes or your golf skills, yet he displays genuine concern for people's personal lives, frequently asking about how are the families. Mullin shared a touching story showing Trump's kindness. When he learned about Mullin's injured son, Trump made a visit to Bakersfield to meet him. This was done away from the public eye, reflecting a sincere act of empathy. This revealed a side of President Trump that is genuinely warm and caring.

Brett Meiselas: Trump always tries to exploit tragedy or people’s pain. You can always be sure that when tragedy strikes, when people are fearful, Donald Trump will be there exploiting it to his political advantage. We’ve seen that time and time again—during storms throughout the country when he spread lies about FEMA. We’re seeing it now with this whole autism thing, blaming it all on Tylenol despite no studies showing that to be true. We see it with Charlie Kirk. We see it all over. Trump has one mode: here are people in pain, let me manipulate and exploit them, hurt them further, so they have to rely on me and beg for scraps. It’s disgraceful. And there’s a propaganda arm amplifying this, dividing people so much they don’t care about basic facts or truth. They just care about owning the other side. At the MeidasTouch Podcast, we don’t think empathy is a dirty word. That’s the difference between us and so many others. Empathy is good. Empathy is one of the most important qualities a leader—or any human being—can have. We all need empathy. We all need to care for one another. We all need to figure out how to help one another. Political beliefs shouldn’t block the truth. When the truth is staring you in the face, you don’t dismiss it as a “leftist thing” or “what the medical community says.” Yes, because they studied it. They have the data. Maybe it’s time to bring back trust and faith in the people who actually know what they’re talking about—rather than the inexperienced losers Trump puts in power to enrich himself and his buddies.
