Another one: your own suffering doesn’t matter because other people have it worse.

Mission of Gravity by Hal Clement has sentient centipede-like aliens. A very good book even 70 years later.

Refusing medical treatment for a woman with a life-threatening pregnancy emergency is legal.

Abortion is criminalized.

(In select backwards states).

I’m part of the problem. (This is my first post.)

Hopefully it is not nefarious.
