i can't speak for the others who responded, but for me it's the i-don't-have-a-dog-in-this-fight perspective that they have because it's undeniable that the people they're enabling are causing this fight; but they're completely dismissive of the pain and suffering that their behavior is causing as if it didn't matter.

it's a bit like how liberals become upset at conservatives for not giving af about something until it effects them. people who hold the not-my-problem attitude that op holds will eventually feel the effects; but they're such an overwhelmingly large portion of western society that iwe're all going to feel the effects when it happens.

    That makes sense. It definitely takes a certain kind of privilege to be able to live with and afford such a blissfully ignorant stance.

    Privilege definitely plays a part and it's not blissful ignorance , it's willful ignorance -- they're choosing to ignore it and calling the people who won't ignore it tankies.

    And the smugness that the willful ignorance creates isn't helping anything either.
