This type of attitude reminds me of the attendees at Otakon who looked with contempt at the homeless outside the convention center: if someone or something doesn't fit their worldview or provide something for them they deserved to be discarded. If being a citizen of a country holds no value because the powers that be can't be arsed to provide the time and resources to to even give folks a chance to better themselves because said powers can't immediately benefit, then let the citizenry burn that system down. One must work through the bad to achieve the good after all.
