Just read the WILDEST take in a post on lemmy. I posted a news article about how the new UK Prime Minister intends to make it more difficult to claim disability benefits. A lemmy user said this is good and fair because historically, the ancestors of British people subjugated other nations so we now deserve to be subjugated. What? I deserve to be impoverished, potentially to death, because hundreds of years ago white upper class people colonised other lands? Does he even consider the fact that many of us are descended from immigrants and not genetically British at all? Or the fact that it was the wealthy doing these things, not the average working class person. Or how this has any relation to disability or why it's specifically the disabled that need to be punished for this?

I think some people take their virtue signalling against historical oppression so far that they are now glorying in the oppression of today's vulnerable.
