Many critics of the modern far-left have coined the term "suicidal empathy" to describe what's happening particularly in Europe and many parts of the United States and Canada.
And that's the obsession that far-leftists have about "multiculturalism" and bringing in as many people from distant foreign lands as possible (nothing is "too much" for them, no matter how many millions we are talking about), and extremely fiercely and rabidly defending this practice to the point that the problems, especially the crime statistics among immigrants, are routinely censored, hidden, diminished and denied, and anybody who would want to shed some light on the issue is demonized, attacked, vilified and harassed. Most of them go so far as to defend the immigrants even when they themselves are victims of that crime, even the most heinous forms of it (ie. sexual assault and rape).
The fact is that Europe is committing societal suicide. In most countries the people in power are set on destroying their own countries by bringing in as many immigrants as possible, spending astonishing amounts of money and resources on them, and excusing and censoring their crimes, and refusing to deport even the most violent criminals. Many leftists are defending the immigrants even when they themselves are in danger and the victims of those crimes. Quite literally the multiculturalist ideology supersedes their own safety and self-preservation. Many of them outright say it directly and out loud: They would rather be gang-raped every day than have those criminals deported. (And that's, of course, when they are not just outright denying that immigrants rape people.)
However, in my opinion "suicidal empathy" is the wrong term to use to describe this. That's because it assumes that far-leftists actually are feeling empathy.
I know that most use the term in a more sarcastic tone, not actually meaning that they feel genuine empathy and that they are just being naive, and letting their feelings of empathy override their own sanity, reason and safety. However, sarcastic or not, I think the term is ill-suited for this.
That's because far-leftists are psychopaths who are incapable of feeling empathy. That's not a metaphor, or hyperbole, or an exaggeration. I'm being 100% serious.
If they had actual empathy, they would be at least bothered by over 50 million babies being murdered by their mothers and doctors every single year. Most of them are not.
If they had actual empathy, they would not celebrate the murder of Charlie Kirk. Even if they heavily opposed what he was saying, they would heavily condemn his murder.
If they had actual empathy, they would not consider 50 million people on their own side dying for the cause to be acceptable (or any other 50 million people being killed at all.)
If they had actual empathy, they would not wish violence and death against the children of their opposition.
If they had actual empathy, they would not make tasteless jokes about killing babies, and consider it "hilarious" afterwards.
If they had actual empathy, they would not ignore victims of rape and outright bring those victims back to their rapists.
If they had actual empathy, they would not turn on their own the microsecond that someone shows any sign of dissent or makes a mistake, and start sending death threats and death wishes to them. If they had actual empathy, they would not do the same to a "trans" person who "detransitions" and stops being "trans".
So no, it's not "suicidal empathy". They are complete psychopaths who are incapable of feeling any empathy. They can pretend like they do, but time and again they just show that it's all a pretense, empty words.
What they are doing is virtue-signaling and zealotry. They are absolute zealots of the worst kind, and they will do anything they can, no matter how psychopathic, to gain power and force their ideology onto society. They will flip their opinions to the exact opposite at the drop of a hat if needed (and, in fact, they constantly do.) They will stop "feeling empathy" for someone or a group of people at the drop of the hat, if they stop being useful for their agenda and narrative (which just goes to show that they never felt any true empathy in the first place.)
If one wanted to coin a more accurate neologism to describe this, perhaps "suicidal virtue-signaling".
