  • Makes excuses not to sympathize. Brings up made up stereotypes about people as reasons not to sympathize.

  • EVERYONE and EVERYTHING is fine in their worldview. Someone is suffering? They deserve it orrr they aren't actually suffering and are just trying to get you to sympathize. There is something extremely wrong going on? Maybe it's time we changed our morals, it's not that bad, really.

  • Doesn't think beyond whether or not it's socially acceptable.

So? There has to be a name for this type of person. I can throw it on their face.

This is somebody who bends over backwards to support a single idea: humans can do no wrong. It's not fascism because it doesn't sound like there's any side-taking or specific ideology they favor over others. They might be a flavor of anarchist?

The lack of empathy leads me to think that the ideology was built one selfish brick at a time. It's a response to the world, not a governance of it. They want zero responsibilities derived from the actions of others. To a degree, they may have a point: inaction is allowance. If you don't stop something from happening, you're allowing it but it's lacking a lot of nuance. If you accept it as it is, there's no room for obligation. That's freeing which is probably their end goal. Not a good society, but a simple escape from responsibilities.

It's a self-serving ideology.
