The amount of people who are all giving “reasons” why they are gonna be ok to treat others with contempt and apathy towards any suffering just means you wanted an excuse to not care all along, not that you are morally superior.
You will still look like an asshole to anyone that isn’t informed and to the people who didn’t agree with you in the first place.
If you actually care you keep trying, stop pretending minute crusades are anything but.
To be fair, all the stuff in your life, that you are experiencing firsthand, is always going to be way stronger than a story you read about in the news.
