Doctors say it's serious.
The left's TDS is mutating.
It's turned violent.
They've moved on from policy to pure hate, and it's spreading.
It's made it to a galaxy far, far away.
Luke Skywalker turned to the dark side and posted this.
Trump laying in his grave with the caption, "If only."
Now Skywalker says he didn't mean it.
But this is the same type of talk that got Charlie Kirk killed.
and they're still dancing on his grave.
>> I knew Charlie Kirk.
I did a panel with him one time and his squished in face.
And yeah, I said that because that dude was a straightup Nazi.
>> Charlie's assassin said the same thing.
This isn't normal.
You're not supposed to call people you don't like Nazis and pray they die.
Years ago, you'd call people who said this demented.
Now you just call them Democrats.
>> People are coming to the nation's capital with the intent to commit political violence.
We saw it with the assault on the uh shooting at the Secret Service agent on the National Mall near the Washington Monument uh on Monday.
Uh and we will continue to see it.
We've crossed the Rubicon because for some reason they think that they are allowed to violate the law, kill individuals if it satisfies what they think is their political moral compass.
Gad Sad's the author of suicidal empathy and scholar at the Declaration of Independence Center for the Study of American Freedom at Old Miss. Gad, what is suicidal empathy?
>> So empathy is a wonderful virtue to have.
We are a social species. For you and I to have a good conversation, I need to put myself in your mind and vice versa.
But like all things, too little of it makes you a psychopath.
Too much of it makes you a psychopath.
So if it if it becomes hyperactive, if it is invoked in the wrong situations, if it targets the wrong targets, you end up with a society that's committing civilizational sepuku.
You're basically uh self- disembowing yourself.
So empathy is great, suicidal empathy is fatal.
>> So what would an example be current day of suicidal empathy?
So to argue that all immigrants are equally likely to assimilate within the American ethos would be a perfect manifestation of suicidal empathy.
Elon Musk is an immigrant to the United States.
Muhammad Ahmed who just went to a summer camp in Waziran in with al-Qaeda is also an immigrant.
They're probably not equally likely to assimilate well within the American experiment.
>> That's true. And we know that from experience.
Also women in this country seem to be most afflicted with suicidal empathy.
How does that manifest itself?
>> Uh well they are the ones who are holding # refugees welcome as they are being gang raped by said refugees.
Right. So there are many many examples that I discuss in the book and you and I talked about it offline that really seem almost as though they're impossible to believe that they could be true.
So a woman is gang raped by a bunch of guys from the Middle East. She tells the police that they were speaking in German because if she were to truly say that they spoke Arabic and Farsy, that would marginalize the Middle Eastern community.
So when a woman who is being raped and victimized, her first reflex is to protect her rapists, that's probably suicidal empathy.
>> Does it generate from a hatred of your country? Does it generate itself from guilt? um how does it how does it um show itself?
>> Well, it shows itself in many many different ways. So, for example, the fact that people are incredibly Islamophilic, they love Islam in the West would be one manifestation of suicidal empathy.
It shows its way by the fact that you shouldn't put felons in prison.
They're only been arrested 187 previous times.
Why don't you be a nice guy and give them a second chance?
Right? uh it shows its way in the fact that we should elevate indigenous knowledge over the scientific method because the scientific method is laced with white supremacy.
So there are an endless number of ways that bit by bit the edififices of reason that define the west are being clobbered.
So you and I can see it.
It's illogical and you've seen people hurt by this.
Why can't they see it?
And if you were to I don't know lay them down on the couch, Dr. Dr. Gad said, "How would you cure this?"
>> Well, I would tell them to read this book because the last chapter I offer an inoculation against suicidal empathy.
But it's a very difficult and almost intractable problem because if my personhood is defined by the fact that I am infinitely tolerant, infinitely compassionate, kind, magnanimous, then it becomes very difficult to ever take a position that might seem as being non-empathetic.
Non-empathetic. So, it's a tough problem, but I'm up for the challenge.
>> And do you think America can cure this
