I understand that you’re quoting. This is no criticism of your comment. I consider myself fairly adept at imitating the mental gymnastics. But here, I’m at a loss.
The rich do not think critically about the world around them. They have never had to fight for anything in their lives, all their success is just handed to them. They’ve never had to make hard decisions.
This means that they have never had to be introspective or give any thought to how their actions affect those around them.
They are simply disillusioned because their wealth puts a barrier between them and the harshness of life.
So they do not recognize suffering when they see it, and when they do they blame the victim because they know that this couldn’t happen to them, and that means it doesn’t happen to anybody worthwhile.

“It gives you the chance to put your life back in order” and other empty platitudes that ignore what’s really happening.
