A lot of gang members do the exact same genocidal work as the Chinese police, voluntarily without pay, and then suck cops dicks to get good again. A lot of gang members get real upset when cops get hosed up.

A lot of people hit up their insurance thousands of times a day to get “good”, which does nothing anymore. They just take the puts off for a little while until they want another read.

op, maybe you should talk to someone professionally about this?

idk. it’s easy to feel powerless and dissociate when reading about the world but there’s plenty of small things you can do that make an impact on your community. maybe you could try some volunteer work cleaning litter or help at a food bank?

i mean sure gen x is known for its apathy, but i think gen xers had WAAAAAAAAAAY more empathy than the current generation. we are living in the age of narcissists now... but that makes sense.. their parents are the gen exers.


personally i have too much empathy and i wish to not care anymore. i will gladly give extra to someone in need.

Yes this is called being a teenager. Ideally you grow up and learn to have things like compassion for other people, and the decency not to throw your beercans allover the road and peoples lawns.

here's an example of where i don't care

joe rogan's an idiot and said some stupid covid stuff so some musicians are doing a boycott of spotify which sponsors/owns his podcast.

i don't care. spotify is an easy way to listen find all music i can think of and i can't be bothered changing unrelated things about my life according to who is an idiot on the the other side of the world, especially when my actions will have absolutely zero effect on the apparent problem.

oh god.. i mean im smart.. im right a lot but ill be the first to sit and listen when im proven wrong or when someone has constructive criticism for me.. its about growth and trying to be the best person I can be (tho LOL im so far from it these days).. not being "right." idk.


like "proven wrong" meaning about facts tho. I have some friends that I can get into healthy debates with about debatable issues and honestly most of the time the challenge of a different perspective on those issues helps widen my perspective.. you know instead of just digging deeper grooves into what i "think" is the right stance on the issue.

Not taking part in a quasi- protest doesn't make you a bad person. There are TONS AND TONS AND TONS of issues out there and not being an active participant in every one doesn't make you bad. Even though lots of people will say that you are because you aren't 100% into their cause. It's literally impossible to keep up with it all.

You just try to do what you can when you can. It really is the little decisions that make you a good person. Not the epic altruistic society changing types. Just try to be good to your fellow human.

This crucible infects and informs my daily mores still to this day.

Am I a "Good Person"?

I don't care about things that don't directly affect me. Climate Change? Who gives a gently caress unless my home is flooded and my PS5 rendered inert due to water damage. Homeless? Whatever. Your life, your problem. Voting? Politics? Disengaged, can't muster an emotion. Just not down with OPP, Other People's Problems.

I guess I'm a monster, but I really don't care? I tip well. I always go out of my way to be nice to retail/restaurant/service workers. I am kind and supportive of my young adult children, I love them to death and would do anything for them and my very small circle of friends and family.

But outside of that I really don't give a gently caress.

Roast me goons, drunk and ready for it. Or ignore this poo poo and don't care, in which case I can obviously relate.

Come on, op. With all of the past elections that were decided by one vote or less, you could have made a change but you are selfish rear end couldn't be bothered.

We commit evil just by living in a capitalist society, so it's kinda hard to high horse you about anything. That said, I'm gonna try.

I think you should care about your fellow man. Apathy is deadly. I don't think there's any one way to do that. It sounds like you do some good things already. Sometimes when I want to feel better about myself I give money to good causes. It's an easy low effort thing to feel good about.

In reality you're actually an incredibly boring person who, much like today's so called good doers, defined themselves wholly through consumer choices. You will be purged along with the rest of us under the glorious JDPON.

what's funny is that spotify pays like basically literally nothing (i am on Spotify so i know exactly what i am talking about haha)

so like, people are gonna get mad about them paying joe rogan, when everyone has known forever that they DON'T pay musicians hardly anything at all
