> you can assume that people have default concern for Venezuelans.

Let’s be real, the vast majority of Americans couldn’t even place Venezuela on a map.

The default state for humans isn’t caring about everything and everyone, nobody has the mental capacity or resources to do that.

We only care about something when we are incentivized to by actual self interest, familial bond, or emotional stories that align this 3rd party with our familial instincts via empathy.
