The Untied States is literally becoming like nazi Germany and I don’t know if people understand that I’m not exaggerating. I legitimately can’t tell if people realize that America is now a fascist dictatorship, likely to soon go full on nazi Germany and make it explicitly illegal to be part of certain minority groups, at which point it may be too late for people to leave. I don’t know if people around me understand that that’s not an exaggeration.
People just keep on going to Disneyland as if it’s perfectly safe. It’s like watching people go to a store that’s literally on fire and nobody is even trying to put it out. It’s like people think if the fire department isn’t reacting then it isn’t happening
and my grandmother thinks it’s funny to tell me canada is going to be the 51st state. Yes, so hilarious the fire might soon consume our house too
I don’t think it’s that they’re all psychopaths, or lack empathy. I think what it really is is faith, in a sense. They’ve been told bad things happen for a reason, that actions have consequences, and thus they have faith that the bad things happen to bad people who deserve it, because the world is a just place.
But when things happen to them, or people close to them, then they know that it’s not justified. They don’t know about all those other folks, but they know their mom didn’t do any bad stuff, and they know they don’t deserve this outcome. So only when it happens to them do they go “this is bullshit” and then get angry that the system and/or universe gave them the wrong result.
That’s kind of funny because you literally described a person that lacks empathy. If they had empathy they wouldn’t have to wait for it to happen to them.
