It's not just conservatives, I also see many libs believe in this shit. In addition, they really believe in the "Just World Hypothesis" (i.e. that the good will eventually be rewarded and that the evil will eventually be punished). I just can't bring myself to believe that the evil will "get what they deserve," at least in this world, after everything I've seen. I don't know, how do others here deal with the brainworms of personal responsibility and the just world hypothesis?
These people love to accept that if something is a even remote possibility, it might as well apply to all cases. If there is a chance an overworked minimum wage worker goes to school and eventually gets an office job, that means the system works as intended and the particulars don't matter, what matters somehow is the person's mindset or personal ambition. It's just an intense lack of sympathy from what I see. They love to point to specific examples too of people going from poverty to financial stability and assume every single person could replicate that path without fault if they just perform the same actions.
I've been contextualizing it a while that a lot of people assume the real world operates like Minecraft. In that there are freely and readily available resources everywhere and intended functions of those resources, and all you have to do is find the right things and put everything together and then hey you've got a house and a garden. You win.
