And mental health, and addiction, and anything else that lets people write another person off as “bad” and not worthy of their compassion.

Yeah. Strikes me as the laziest possible explanation for a thing, and it always seems to ironically come from people who are convinced that they're better than others because they're working harder or trying more.
