Sometimes, I wonder whether the intentions are good and pure from those displaying a great level of suicidal empathy. I don't doubt for a single second that those doing so have more sinister, ulterior motives. Display a great deal of suicidal empathy, in immigration, as your example states, lobby for non-citizens to gain the 'right' to vote, get those votes, and stay in power for as long as they desire. Even if the identities that shaped Western Civilization for centuries go down the drain. A lot of these people don't care. They'll feign empathy if it means more power for them.

Thank you for giving me a term for a concept I’ve been trying to describe for a while now. College-educated white women in America are simultaneously filled with good intentions and wreaking havoc on everything they touch. “Suicidal empathy” is perfect.
