The people who don't want to acknowledge that the system causes suffering don't want to do it precisely because they have suffered and continue to suffer, and seeing how big the fountain of suffering is would be too painful. It doesn't make it past their brain's guard dog.

The replier fails to see that suffering because they're numbing their own suffering by hating people richer than them, and if they stopped, they'd have to deal with something they might not be ready for. It doesn't make it past their brain's guard dog.
