Toxic Empathy

[Lesh]

The earliest discussion of it I recall, was from Jordan Peterson. I think I heard it discussed before that, but either I don't recall or it was not explained well.







Um. Ok. I don't see how that is relevant to anything we are discussing.


And again, my point stands. I gave an example of toxic empathy would you like to address it?

Your example is bullshit. There are good parents, bad parents and everything in between. Your example is one of many different ways parenting can go wrong.

Which is worse? Toxic empathy, or lack of empathy.

 

[Lesh]

One could argue that your devotion to Trump is an example of toxic empathy

Where's your empathy for children killed in the womb?

Why was my example "bullshit"?


Do you not think that giving the child what he wants, is a form of empathy? You are feeling how much he wants it, and are giving it to him.

I just explained myself and you then ask for an explanation.
How stupid are you?

You explained nothing.

I ask again, is it not empathy to feel that the child really wants what he is having a fit over, and to give it to him?

And is that not the WRONG thing to do, obviously?

Empathy like that, is a bad thing, it is "Toxic".


What part of this are you disagreeing with?

I answered. That you don’t like the answer means nothing

Answer

There is no explanation in there.


Do you agree that giving the child what they want, is an expression of EMPATHY, ie you are feeling that they really want it and are taking action to make them happy.

BAD PARENTING is not an answer.

The question was, is it a form of EMPATHY?


Simple question. Easy answer.

It absolutely is an answer. Is it a form of empathy? If you say so.

Bottom line is that it is bad parenting

And if you must declare it “a form of empathy”. That in no way makes empathy a bad thing

MAGA lies.

No... they tell The Truth in this instance... and enough of your fellow Americans thought-so that it cost you the 2024 election.

Just barely enough, many with regrets. Where are the Epstein Files?

The psychotic right has no empathy for anyone in this country, other than whining when they get stepped on.

The President has no empathy for anyone, period.

The democrats have empathy for illegal criminals and none for their victims.

It does in this specific example.

That's the point. To distinguish between times when empathy is called for and times when empathy is the wrong answer.


Giving an hysterical child what they want, instead of teaching him to control himself, is empathitic, but also HARMFUL to the child.

Bullshit

[Lesh]

I have empathy for parents who have been in this country for years ,working and raising families… being ripped away from those families.

You have zero empathy for anyone other than Trump

 

[Hafar1014]

Bullshit

Are you kidding me look at democrats acting violently to defend them suing to keep them here, releasing them on the street to kill and rape, opposing deportation, giving them benefits sanctuary cities and not one word of empathy for their victims or families. This is the dumbest policy democrats have ever taken and it cots them the election
