What the fuck is wrong with your brain that you think people being sympathetic for human beings who are being mercilessly murdered by an oppressive regime is suspicious? Suspicion of what, Matt? What the fuck is wrong with you, Matt?
Quite a lot of American conservatives (and libs, but MANY conservatives) cannot comprehend having sympathy for someone not part of their ‘in group’.
Showing compassion is weak since people are supposed to pull themselves up, and helping them is either detrimental towards them ‘developing those skills’, or condescendingly insulting, or both (we won’t talk about the ‘if they’re too weak they deserve it’ freakshows). Never mind how they got there in the first place, or how deeply screwed they may be. Or maybe just showing compassion regardless.
