Blaming a shit situation on some form of failure of morals and/or effort in the victims is a far more platable concept than accepting that these situations grow from complex causes and many years of history, and could happen in their own environment to them.
Doesn’t help that the billionaires love this sort of attitude because it helps keep the little people playing crab bucket instead of coming together.
Sneering “Why would I ever want to work with people so dumb they could let this happen to themselves?” while the rope continues to tighten around the neck of the whole damn world.
You can look at a lot of crisises in history and see this sort of thinking used to push down groups living through them.
Thank god someone here gets it. That attitude is weirdly common here on lemmy and it serves as such a giant middle finger to the people fighting against the fascists every day, and especially vulnerable and oppressed groups who’ve been fighting with all we’ve got just for it all to fall apart anyways.
I know these people aren’t actually ops but it helps me sleep easier at night to assume they are.
