“But we belong to the special exclusive club of supporters who are protected from those actions, actions that mean we will be better off even if the majority of everyone else will be worse off!” To them, they can have their lack-of-empathy cake and eat it, too.
A while ago I was in a tram in Vienna. The tram has one very big station, where most people get off, and then just one more stop afterwards. We were just at that big station and everyone except me and an older woman stayed on the tram. As doors were closing, a younger woman outside the train shouted something in a language I didn’t understand.
The older woman turned to me and said in very broken German “These foreigners… They always misbehave, make noise.”
I was so close to asking her what about tge concept of foreigners she didn’t understand.
I don’t understand foreigners subscribing to anti-foreigner idology.
Oh yea what did you vote for? Trump deporting immigrants other than your community?
“'But we are hardworking people, unlike those other immigrants people don’t like” 🤡

They struggle to understand xenophobia.
Thats surprisingly common.
