It's about conceptual accessibility to the solution.

When you have a small group dying of hunger because of a drought, it is easy to perceive what to do and your ability to realize it. So people are more likely to speak up.

If a drought affects an entire nation, you're at least aware this must be a complicated task. So you're more reluctant to criticize inaction.

That behavior is especially problematic when the solutions are abstract or long-term.
