feels like a lot of people dont know how to deal with multiple things being bad at the same time

"how dare you worry about <bad thing> when <worse thing> is happening" is always an option, especially since what counts as worse varies by person

this might actually just be strategic, people trying to shut down conversations about problems that benefit them
