The mistake that they make and no one tends to properly articulate is that you simply cannot demand more of someone else than they are willing to give. And you can't train people into loving you with overbearing rules that they don't agree with.
They want empathy, sympathy, loyalty, allyship that not only will they not offer in return, but also blindly and universally without acknowledging that it's entirely unreasonable.
"They don't care about us!". Well, why in the good God damn is that even their responsibility? They've got their own shit to do, and they don't have the same taste for decadence that it takes to demand people do exactly what you want under threat of emotional blackmail or having some authority smack them down over the matter.
Either way, those things don't inspire care or concern. At best, fear. At worst, violence.
Meanwhile, there's this disingenuous thread of, "what did we ever do to you?"
They poked the bear until it bit back. They covered their disdain in virtue and used it as a cudgel. And we as a society need people calmly explain it and then let them wail away, just to demonstrate who the ridiculous ones are.
