hi ayock, thanks.
what you think is a blind spot is really just a holistic and fair perspective. injustice is everywhere. i, and many others have been treated unfairly at work. elderly Asians are preyed upon. unattractive, overweight people are body shamed and excluded socially.
then there's the issue of personal responsibility or lack of it. along with that the understanding that actions have consequences. when these things are missing, terrible things like record homicides, elderly Asian beatings, and smash and grab crimes occur.
if you are responsible or for public safety and day in and day out this is all you deal with all day every day, its gonna affect you.
our society provides free food, free education, and so many other socials services and volunteer services for anyone who needs it. yet somehow, a narrative has evolved to blame the people providing that generosity for not doing enough.
and if a group of people, living paycheck to paycheck, hear it enough, they are going to act out.
so instead of insisting on false narratives, we should be addressing root causes. like reducing our defense budget by $50b and using that to provide health care and training to those who currently can't afford it. like fixing the horrific income inequality at the top 1%.
