Sounds like this person doesn't understand empathy, which seems to be a common thing on the Right. It's way easier to say "F them, I got mine" when you have no basic empathy for other humans.

They aren't talking about empathy, this is something else. It's about the guilt of feeling happiness in a world that seems like it's going in the wrong direction.

That guilt is understandable, but when it becomes so pervasive that you feel the need to express that guilt on every single expression of joy, that seems unhealthy for society, and it makes people much less likely to join a movement.
