A society in which it’s everyone for themselves, that refuses to care for one another, is no society at all. Then everyone acts shocked and horrified at someone who understandably snaps, like modern western culture doesn’t run entirely on schadenfreude.
That was the crux of the idea of a social contract, which is long dead in the US. Now people line up to revel in the suffering of their fellow citizens with “well you were stupid to do xyz in life, so you deserve your suffering haha.”
Or maybe you just don’t owe anything to the sort of people who say that phrase, instead of taking it out on the rest of society. Because the truth is there is quite some overlap between the people who would say something like that and something like you have.
It reminds me of rappers who are antisystem yet by the way they act and urge other people to act foster the most corrupt aspects of that system.
