>>2067733I'm not even sure if "moron" is the right word. If you see a situation that is happening on a large scale, and the options are:
(A) everyone is stupid and brainwashed and doesn't know what's in their own interests, or
(B) you're missing some critical information about those people's priorities and requirements that would make their actions seem more rational
and you vehemently choose (A) and get angry at the suggestion that (B) might be true, there's just something something deeply broken about you and it cannot be fixed
This isn't even ultimately an empathy question, though that plays a part. It's about the way you go about interpreting the world around you. Automatically going for the more complicated and nonsensical explanation and working overtime to fill in the blanks so you can cling to your retard version of reality instead of accepting that you might be wrong, because accepting that other people have different experiences than you and their own independent brain states is far more of an intellectual challenge than whatever it is you chose to do instead
