You’re situation is far from what I was getting at, and a nightmare to 95+% of the people I intended to describe.

I haven’t minded jail, in-patient treatment, nor any number of confined living/work situations, but I don’t think that outlook lends itself to ignoring the suffering of others per se.

The suffering of others is one of the more overt ills of society that makes me appreciate a situation where I have a full stomach, a warm bed, and an extremely-confined combined-work-study-and-social-circle which I have little-to-no control over all-the-more.

The society outside of that, where suffering of others is acceptable so long as one is not forced to associtate with anyone-in-particular, is something its entirely moral to flee from imho.

Basically, your situation is almost the opposite of what I was complaining of, even though for most people its a situation that is only symptomatic of the narrow set of problems they find personally-inconvenient about the status quo. These are people who implitly have a problem with you or I getting to be being fed, warm, and detached from the zeitgeist they know, and/or even slightly happy, but they will also never admit it.

Far from all of that 95+% I mentioned in my first paragraph are like so, but is at least 60% of people-in-general, divided closer-to-evenly among, and therefore the majority members of, whatever tribes you could name … and its extra stupid because the rest are just as invested in pretending the ones that agree with them somehow aren’t the problem.

No, you see, its addicts, “psychopaths”, “the other guys” and you or I that are the problem to them. Even though society would both fall-apart without us, and has no right to call itself society if it can’t allow for us. We can’t pretend those suffering don’t exist as easilly as they, and our comfort away from those that can, with mixed-company no matter your criteria no-less, is anathema to their outlook.
