Sounds like this person doesn't understand empathy, which seems to be a common thing on the Right. It's way easier to say "F them, I got mine" when you have no basic empathy for other humans.
They aren't talking about empathy, this is something else. It's about the guilt of feeling happiness in a world that seems like it's going in the wrong direction.
That guilt is understandable, but when it becomes so pervasive that you feel the need to express that guilt on every single expression of joy, that seems unhealthy for society, and it makes people much less likely to join a movement.
They lack empathy is my point. The person doesn't understand why the Right fucking everyone over constantly would make people feel bad/sad/depressed. The thought of others doesn't even occur to them, it's all about them, how they are the victim.
