There's a very counter-intuitive and dangerous side to radical empathy. That is, it is actually the hallmark of the negative archetype of the Devouring Mother. Making normal and healthy empathy 'radical' is a clickbait tactic without much understanding of how unconstrained empathy is psychologically unhealthy for both the emoter as well as the recipients by and large.
Pragmatic and applied empathy is definitely useful but then we've got the little nagging problem in that those are the definitions of empathy whereas radical empathy turns more into virtue signaling.
Get back to the basics, understand what empathy really is, avoid the hyperbole, and you'll find a whole world of healthy, balanced, and certainly not negative archetypical empathy.
