I think it makes them feel safer. It reminds me of the old 'what was she wearing?' question about women who are raped, and the victim blaming that happens with people who are murdered. If you tell yourself that that woman was only raped because she was wearing revealing clothing, or that person was only murdered because they hung out with shady people, then that means you can't be raped or murdered because you don't do those things. Acknowledging that things can be completely random and horrible things can happen to people who did absolutely nothing to "deserve" them terrifies the hell out of some people and they just can't handle it. So they come up with reasons why it can't/won't happen to them, and it makes them feel better.

Exactly so. Maybe I'm just getting old, but lately I've had less and less empathy for those people because they're just sticking their heads in the sand in the face of human suffering and not correcting the system that perpetuates the suffering. In their quest to feel safe they're making themselves (and me) less safe and I'm getting angry at them. So when the "impossible" happens, I now just feel that schadenfreude and laugh at them.

I totally get that. I sometimes try to empathize with them, but I won't lie, I've definitely laughed at them before.

da

yeah :/

I've actually had people tell me they don't care about anything outside their own circle... and it's like... if you never care about anything outside your own circle, who do you expect to protect your circle, and your right to have a circle? If you don't care about the little guy (who may be in a more vulnerable position), why should the little guy care about you when you have misfortune?

There's a reason the poem "First They Came..." exists. They're acting it out in real time and it's goddamn infuriating.
