Why would “othering” them make them change their behavior?

“But what’s especially ironic here is that, although Politico takes time to decently highlight the perfect sociopolitical storm that has given us our current public health stalemate, it simultaneously and repeatedly falls into the same journalistic tropes of both wide-eyed, pitying horror and othering that help to…

Yeah exactly, this article is trying to have it both ways and it just comes off as incredibly hypocritical.
