The sympathy ploy by the left regarding caravans on the whole. Generally speaking, the left is obsessed with the idea of relating to the experience of others, at least superficially.
Thus the concept of moral relativity, cultural relativity etc. At its root, its asking those on the "in" to put aside their subjectivity, in order to embrace outsiders' subjectivity, however, on the same note very little emphasis/heed is paid toward encouraging the same being returned in kind.
To put it into a more relatable context. Imagine youre doing business with another company. A conflict arises, for the sake of continuing the mutually beneficial relationship you make a concession, say you knock 5points off your margin.
Now, a couple months go by and the other company is behind 30 days on their payables, and youre starting to get impatient with them. They say, hey, look, we need you to extend our terms from 30 days to 60 days because our clients are slow to pay and we're in a pinch trying to pay you net 30, so for the sake of continuing the relationship you see their side and make the concession.
3 months later theyre behind on paying you another 30 days sitting with invoices aging net 90. Now, impatient about waiting to get paid, you reach out and they tell you how theyre getting shafted by customers and their getting outbid by their competitors so they need another price discount.
At what point in time do you stop giving a shit about their company's plight, stop making concessions, and assert that theyre to pay you on time, at the agreed price, or you aint doing business anymore?
