Unfortunately, life is hard, and if someone cares deeply about reducing harm in the world, it's harder still. You can very much choose to not care about people outside your close family, but that's not how I wish to live, and aside from as a mental defence mechanism against having to think about the horrors that people go through every day and how the system they're forced to take part in supports those horrors, I don't understand why other people would want to live that way.
- oskarth 10y agoYou completely missed my point and somehow turned yourself into a hero for supposedly caring about all these little harms that no one else cares about (while still having to earn a living, of course). Thanks for putting words into my mouth that I never said. Classic empty virtue signaling. (I should follow my own rule of never replying to my own thread outside of simple questions. It always bites me. Especially ironic how all the points in OP and my original comment applies to this thread.)
