The Sin of Empathy Part III: Dehumanization is the Goal (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)

In this final installment of the series, Brad discusses the concept of ‘toxic empathy’ as introduced by Ali Beth Stuckey in her book and critiques its impact on empathy within Christian and nationalistic contexts. He explores how empathy is being demonized by figures such as Elon Musk and Joe Rigney, and addresses the broader implications of reducing empathy in society, particularly towards marginalized groups. The episode also highlights the importance of critical thinking and the humanities in fostering a more empathetic and understanding society.
