An analyst Monday called a MAGA influencer's weaponization of her gender and crusade against empathy "especially dangerous."

Salon's Amanda Marcotte wrote in an opinion piece about far-right Christian pundit Allie Beth Stuckey and how "the right’s modern war on empathy really began with a woman."

Stuckey, a creationist and podcaster, has tried "scaring women into stopping birth control by falsely portraying it as dangerous" and has captured the attention of MAGA with her 2024 book “Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion,” Marcotte wrote. The concept for her book originated on her podcast "Relatable."

“Feeling too much for someone can blind us to reality,” Stuckey said. “It can cause us to ignore the truth, the objective truth, in favor of how a person feels.”


I like Salon's Amanda Marcotte...............she is right on point in this article............

1. She should then apply her own tenets to Mr. trump

“Feeling too much for someone can blind us to reality,” Stuckey said. “It can cause us to ignore the truth, the objective truth, in favor of how a person feels.”

3. These people can't function in society without blatant hypocrisy.

And the only functioning they can do is either criminal or borderline criminal.

4. Without empathy you would have no reservations about torturing or killing others

especially when you religion tells you they are possessed by demons

These are the people who, centuries ago, burned innocent women by claiming they were witches

5. She has no empathy................nada, zilch, zero...............she's as plastic and polyvinyl wrap

6. Straw man fallacy

People who feel too much are few and far between. It’s still preferable to feeling either nothing at all or contempt.

People who have empathy aren’t extremists. They are normal human beings.

8. It is 'empathy' that prompts her to do the things Jesus admonished her to do as a Christian.

9. In another age she'd be in the crowd yelling "Crucify him!" much enjoying the spectacle.

Why not? The objective truth being, from her perspective, that she is a good citizen and those guys on the crosses are criminals.

10. She worked on me, I dont care about her at all

If she died tomorrow, good bye moving on.
