There's a fundamental misunderstanding of empathy there. Empathy is an innate and instinctual feeling. It's not something that is lost just because you don't enslave yourself to coddling that feeling 100% of the time. Disgust at unhygienic waste is also an innate and instinctual feeling that overall serves a good purpose in society, but parents must learn to temporarily suppress it to clean their children's mess and surgeons need to learn to suppress it to an even greater degree to operate. Empirically, that doesn't make parents of surgeons suddenly morph into disgusting pigs rolling in filth in the rest of their life. Learning to control your emotions and disregard unhelpful instincts for rational goals is part of becoming a healthy, productive adult. People who refuse to do so are just manchildren and liabilities only capable of living under the protective umbrella of others, not shining examples of moral character. People should aspire be higher beings standing on the foundation of their feelings, not a worm crushed under them.
It's not that empathy is bad, having an innate high empathy is good for cooperative societies and history has already proven the overall competitive edge cooperative societies gain. But it's just a crude instinct that gives false positives sometimes. Saying doing what empathy tells you to is always good is like saying shooting people is always bad. That's a path that leads to being the useless idiot trying to stop someone from shooting at someone attempting murder and saving lives. Having high empathy and an adult's emotional control and sense of responsibility is what lead to much of the world having it's first taste in centuries of someone strong enough to depose the marauding warlords not becoming the next marauding warlord. Having high empathy and a child's emotional control and sense of responsibility is what degenerated that into marauding rapists giving the west it's first taste in centuries of the visceral reality of a low trust society.

This is an example of logical thought overpowering emotions, something I advocate and was in fact the driving motivation behind posting my original comment in this thread, if that wasn’t clear

Yes, precisely.
Here is some ancient wisdom:
People belong where they are born. Creatures belong where they are fed.
A logical person would realize that logic doesn’t dictate our reality. Rhetoric is infinitely more effective than dialectic. And racial politics are clearly defeating the whites who don’t practice them.
You’re a midwit. You think you’re high delusions are unassailable, but they don’t map onto our observable reality even a little bit.
Should we found an ADL for whites? Should we then use similar tactics as the ADL for similar goals? Why or why not? If you think we should, who will be our Leo Frank?
