I genuinely believe people have a problem with honesty. You are admitting to something a lot of people believe but don't say.
I have an emotional connection to the Holocaust. As a child learning about it was my first glimpse of what evil looked like. However, there have been terrible atrocities committed throughout history and I don't have an emotional response to them. No normal human being is going to be upset about some murdered people from 700 AD. That shit is ancient history.
I still feel for victims of oppression and senseless violence across the world, but not nearly as much as my neighbors. Proximity breeds empathy.
