NZ — Former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has released her first memoir telling the harrowing tale of the time she became empathically suicidal.

“I quit because I overdid it.. pushing empathy beyond helpful,” wrote Jacinda in her memoir Being Suicidally Empathetic. “When the mosque shooting happened, I received a call from President Trump who warned me that I was being too empathetic, but I didn’t listen. I blamed white people and launched a tyricanal crackdown of the ‘right wing.’ I look back now, I realise that I was so suicidal with empathy that it led to me to a path of tyranny for my country. I’m fortunate that Winston Churchill is not around.”
