"But you must remember these people really are products of their time."
Were a lot of people actually unwise enough to discriminate against all the ones who were providing them with their food supply in the 2020s? (And in the U.S., they were helping prop up social security for older folks as well.)
It does seem unwise, but you must remember these people were products of their time, and their conditioning rewarded a lot of them for being prejudiced against certain kinds of human beings from a very early age.
As a consequence, being discriminatory felt almost as natural as breathing to some of them.
Parts of their upbringing were nurturing, but other parts definitely were not, and since they were taught to discriminate at a very young age, they were still highly insecure people who found the most comfort in physical possessions or owning property or taking vacations because this made them feel as though they were worth more to their society as human beings.
Emotional validation was a big thing for them and physical possessions were their most reliable sources of that validation as they were growing up in an insecure, sexist, racist, imbalanced environment that was fueled by fear and prejudices.
So when they discriminate or devalue you or act flaky, you can just know they are actually being fearful and they are mostly running away from their own pain.
They are doing what seems best to them to try to escape being caught in a web of pain and confusion.
However, the people who are more healed from their traumas do not need to discriminate against others so much in order to feel safe and happy.
