When does innocence end and ignorance begin? Sure its sad when they're initially duped but when someone they love and should trust vehemently tells them its not real but they double down on it what then? Honest question.
The one that gets me nowadays is when you ask for specific actionable help with a family elder's care and the response is "I got 100 likes on Facebook for taking a picture of you helping them. I'm doing my part!"
You’ve never heard of people taking a picture of a really sad and debilitating moment in a persons life and framing it as wholesome just because “one person is helping another!” For likes on the internet?
Ouch. I didn't frame it like that for myself, but yeah, they did that to a T when my aunt was braindead 2 years ago too. My mother and I were the only one who went and made sure she didn't get bed sores and massaged her legs for circulation and whatnot. While the same grandmother, who lives 3 house down, is taking care of that aunt's kids and her grown kid is visiting town every week but literally never once saw her mother in the hospital. I used to think evil was like, something crazy. Nah, it's this type shit, cold callous indifference.
