The anguish isn’t the confoubding factor here. No one’s saying you shoudn’t care, there is no ingroup mentality etc. You just didn’t specify a place. That’s literally it.
If you said, “there’s ice cream,” I also would assume you meant somewhere close.
As i wrote somewhere else, the aim of my post would have stayed the same if i titled it :
« If you tell someone “There’s been a bombing in the Middle-East !” with anguish in your voice, they wouldn’t care nor be surprised as much as if it’s in the west. »
Such claim wouldn’t be less true. It still seems to me more linked to the word anguish and our lack of care than to the absence of a location(, but ok, w/e 🤷♂️).
