Easily the least compassionate people I’ve ever met are those who’ve broken out of bad circumstances by individual effort. The depth of their contempt and hatred towards those still stuck in prisons they’ve broken out of is astounding. Exit guilt or something.

Are they genuinely the least compassionate or is it more that you find their lack of compassion incongruous?

Or perhaps their innate lack of compassion helped them break out?

possibly, that's a good adverse selection hypothesis. Except I know of several examples where there's been a gradual hardening of attitudes, so there's definitely some examples of lost compassion too.
