    This is kind of an apathy echo chamber tbh (not just here, other socials too). Out in the real world lots of people are trying very hard to improve things all around the globe. If you’re feeling depressed by perceived apathy I would encourage you to look into organizations working to make a difference. They’re out there and need your help.

    Nah, it’s greed that will do that. Apathy is just a symptom for people that feel like they can’t do anything against the greediest bastards. And it’s also pushed as a control system to be able to get even more by those.

    That and our exceedingly obnoxious self importance as a species. We think we own the Earth, but we actually just live here, and we’re gonna find out real soon how fun it is when nature decides our climate is no longer stable.

    There sure is a lot of propaganda for people to be apathetic.

      My theory is that there’s TOO much for people to care.

      Remember when we DIDN’T hear about what the president was doing MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY? If one of those presidents had decided to undermine democracy, it’d be a pretty big deal and we’d talk about nothing else for weeks.

      But now, breaking news rolls out every hour or two, and it’s just too much to absorb. People are tuning out because if they miss 3 controversies, there will be a fourth by the end of the day. Maybe they’ll worry about that one.

    Apathy is born out of being betrayed and hurt repeatedly

    I just had a third package stolen out of my mailbox in a month. I don’t usually feel this way, but your post speaks to me. Can I move to another country yet?

      Sorry. Best we can do is imprisonment and slavery.

        Oh no! Let’s not, please.

        I think I’m over the apathy… It was actually sadness and overwhelm that I wasn’t processing. I’m back.

    You might wanna watch dont look up. Its pretty spot on in that department.

    And I dont think anything will come through people’s apathy - besides a world ending comet maybe.

    I think people will get upset enough to get off their butts and do things. The issue I see currently is that demonstrating likely wont bring change but if people start disrupting harder (not more violent, although I’m not a pacifist at all) it will definitely bring change.

    The apathy will come from the meanlessness of being subservient to to the heartless business of nations.

    I agree. However, it’s important to point out that the apathy has been manufactured by those with the wealth and power to benefit from it in the short term.
