one of the sociological distortions that’s arisen from this tragedy is that everyone has suffered, so everyone feels they deserve some sympathy, but that energy is often transformed to blame, seeking targets
this wacky imbalance encourages those assigning blame to discount the accused’s situation and difficulties, and amplify their misdeeds; while at the same time as excusing their own failures this happens to whole groups & they talk past each other. it’s automatically polarizing
