Responding to any kind of misfortune with "They deserved it."

eg. People struggling to pay their rent should have budgeted better. People whose uber eats wasn't delivered shouldn't have used uber eats. People with medical debt should've had health insurance. etc. etc.

    I wasn’t talking about people bringing it up as a psychological theory, I was talking about people holding it as an actual belief.
