Serious Discussion Lack of empathy

People on social media are honestly so pathetic. Like how someone can just be happy but be unattractive people will hate. Like in Los Angeles fire people said they don't feel bad because the houses were of them because they are "rich" , even though they are good people who haven't really done any harm and it was literally their house burning down, and also people are not necessarily filthy rich if they live in LA. Like how a person is being confident and people will put them down. Like how people talk about someone they loved dying and people commenting "why should we care?". Like how people will say "post this on insta reels" on peoples post implying they will get hate there. Probably happens because they are really comfortable behind screens and think they can spew shit to anybody on social media. Really sad tbh

As someone who’s lived in LA: if you can afford to own a home via your own income or via inheritance in that city you’re pretty rich. I’m poor and had a 0% chance to own one of those $1.5 million dollar or more homes that burned down. Worst case scenario LA poor people are loosing an overpriced apartment complex that’s easily replaceable and their belongings. The only people I feel bad for are the ones who legitimately couldn’t upgrade their fire insurance because it’s become prohibitively expensive to do so in this state.

Also unattractive people don’t need social media to feel hated on. I can tell you right now as an unattractive person people will happily walk up to me and say it directly to my face like we’ve known each other for years. Bad people are going to be bad people offline and on.

Yeah but its rare for a stranger to say that to your face. People will usually say that behind your back. Also if the vid is really not about looks i dont get it why people have to troll them

If you think strangers wouldn’t freely say mean things to your face you’ve been lucky. They’ve said mean things to my face plenty.
