I'm not saying people don't have some interest in what concerns them, but rather wondering it if is really fair or possible to make a claim about a whole group of people that they can't be altruistic or if they claim that it is bad faith. That just seems wrong.
If we look at another group of people, the families of Sandy Hook, who have used their own tragedy to help others, what would be like to tell them they are in bad faith? It wouldn't just be any old statement, but rather quite insulting and even harmful. So maintaining that level of suspicion has consequences. I'm just trying to point to that and say I can't see how it is justifiable across the board.
