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 assume most of the world outside of America is a pit of filth infested with genetically inferior people who don't matter. Or they'll just shrug. Or they'll do an equally disgusting thing of venerating poverty in foreign countries by connecting it to stronger communities or spirituality or something. Most Americans believe rest of the world only exists for tourism or treats, or that it doesn't exist at all.
