  • I do think it’s kind of human nature to be more shocked when bad stuff happens “here” or to people “like us”.

    When we hear about bad stuff far away there’s a tendency to think that’s normal over there, or it must be happening for reasons, that we just don’t understand…

    That’s exactly why I think it’s important to be aware of these tendecies/bias, and try to calibrate how serious problems feel against actual numbers harmed…

    I mean, to me, that comment reads like a lot of mental gymnastics and propaganda.

    The world is divided into two clear sides, and whatever the other side does is bad, even if it seems benevolent, because of [way of seeing society rooted in the theory of your side].

    Also, there’s no such thing as authoritarian left, they always give people as much personal freedom as possible without jeopardising the movement, and any repression is the minimum amount that’s needed for the greater God!
