I agree with the statement, but add, without a proper support system, its impossible to do the inner work for yourself. We need external support, and we have to try for ourselves.

The absolute audacity to vilify people/put them on blast constantly (bonus points for single mothers and having worse raising outcomes than single dads e.g.) and then act all high and mightly and demanding they “pull themselves up by their boostraps”.

It is not any one individual’s responsibility to fix any other particular individual, true.

If you start declaring some members of the community to be undeserving of care, then you are no better than the fascists.
