The conservative mindset believes social class is preordained. Karen believes people who have become homeless are destined to remain that way and it'd be a waste of resources to try to help them.
If you look at it through this lens, the phone is just prolonging their thrashing before they accept their fate and starve to death.
Yep. The video "Always a Bigger Fish" from Innuendo Studios helps to clarify that mentality quite well: https://youtu.be/agzNANfNlTs [21:46]
This video was great, thanks. I wish there was such a thing as a self aware conservative to refine the positions discussed and better understand how and why our worldviews differ
"My empathy is strictly local, and completely conditional."
That is rhe world view.
Thank you for that video. I've been trying to say this for years but he says it so much cleaner and better.
I mean, I’m a conservative and I don’t believe this stuff, but I believe you if you’re saying you’ve met someone who does.
If you think a hierarchy is natural, and that equality isn't achievable (or a waste of resources), you'd have a conservative mentality, and have a similar approach to the example Karen.
