One of the best, simplified, examples of the mind-set. I get it, and I'm old enough to have been grasping with WTF for far too many years. Yes, it's overly simplified, there are layers to the layers, but as OP is asking for a starting point to understand, this is a good summation. The rest of the discussion on this thread expands on the nuances. Thank you for this.  


(Remember the scene in Poltergeist where Phoebe Cates starts screaming... "what's happening!?" last few years feels like that for me)

That was my response when people started dying of covid *on purpose.*

I really want to understand people, especially those that disagree with me, and it's taken me a long time to get where I feel like I have some understanding of why some things are like they are.
