Summary created with AI assistance · Source: vox.com
  • Joe Rigney formulated the claim in a 2019 essay; his book The Sin of Empathy appeared in 2025.

  • Rigney says empathy itself is not always sinful, targeting forms detached from reality, goodness, and what is right.

  • In January 2025, JD Vance appeared to address the debate; in February, Elon Musk called empathy a Western weakness.

  • As a backlash, a nationwide slogan appeared in churches and on T-shirts, urging bold sinning if empathy is considered sinful.
    • Slavery produced in the South a genuine affection between the races that we believe we can say has never existed in any nation before the War or since.
    — Doug Wilson, leader of the Reformed Christian Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, in his 1996 essay 'Southern Slavery: As It Was', as cited in Vox's article.
