Are Fat People Really To Blame? | Southwest Airlines, Incivility & America’s Compassion Crisis ✈️ Southwest Airlines is requiring plus-sized passengers to buy two seats so they “don’t spill over.” But here’s the real question: why not just design a few rows of larger seats? Instead, society blames fat people for being fat, ignoring the bigger issue — an industry and culture that lack compassion. This episode of the Karel Cast digs into more than just airline seating. From body shaming to public incivility, America is in a compassion crisis. Insults fly daily, strangers fight over parking spots, and violence erupts over the smallest things. Is Trump to blame for fueling division, or is there something deeper and darker behind our collective lack of civility? 👉 Join the conversation that matters.
