A viral feminist post claims women don't need men. We dismantle it with actual data — then pivot to the deeper question: what happens when identity disappears entirely?

R&B Talks: 2 Guys. 2 Chairs. Real Christ-Centered Conversation.

What happens when empathy misfires and a society starts destroying itself in the name of compassion? Reggie and Brian unpack Gad Saad's concept of "suicidal empathy" — unchecked compassion weaponized to invert justice, silence dissent, and dismantle foundations of civilization. From hateful reactions to Charlie Kirk's death to the church's failure to confront sin, this episode examines where empathy crosses from virtue to self-destruction.

KEY TOPICS:

• Suicidal empathy: when adaptive compassion becomes maladaptive and self-destructive

• Joe Rigney's Christian framework: sympathy vs. empathy — keeping one foot on the shore of God's Word

• Real-world manifestations: ICE protests, sanctuary city chaos, celebrity-driven radicalization

• Cowardly empathy in the church: refusing to confront sin for fear of being "unloving"

• Christ as the model: sympathetic but never sycophantic — He wept AND flipped tables

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: Proverbs 19:2, Proverbs 17:15, Proverbs 25:26, Isaiah 5:20, Hebrews 4:15, John 8:11
