There's A Reason Americans Pass By Homeless People In The Street Without A Second Glance

51. Hypervigilance. Thats how.

Right wingers sell dog eat dog. They sell that you BETTER take care of family and friends. Period. When you are out for #1, you disregard all in the outgroup. Hunker down. THOSE PEOPLE, chose their fate, so you can look away. It is your self deception, so as to do what you are choosing. Mix that with Calvinism, and you have let them eat nothing.

Thing is, even Neanderthals cared for sick or disabled family and group. The really sick thing is, the system has been modified so that, the hoops you must jump thru for help, make you lie, misrepresent, obfuscate. Then, those predisposed to think all poor are conmen and scammers that PREFER that to working, have proof. This is no accident. Right wingers prefer the gauntlet to be so harsh, that misery and pain are the prerequisites for getting help. While right wingers talk about the help being a trap, that entombs the poor, that is cuz they wanted it that way. They insisted on it. Once you are that low, respectability is nigh impossible. Just as a society cannot succeed without infrastructure, so too cannot a person gain, without many systems in place. Right wingers think it fine, that it takes ALL DAY to get that meal. They call that adequate.
