If one does care but do nothing then he/she doesn't really care. I actually think people are getting used to it bit refuses to admit. BTW I don't blame anyone.

BTW I don't blame anyone. I myself feel powerless and know I don't care enough to make real actions.

"Getting used to it" is a coping mechanism for powerlessness. Of course people care, but they also care about living out the rest of their lives and not sacrificing themselves to a thankless hopeless political cause with unclear solutions.
- crtfvgybh 5y agoIs there something you'd suggest they do? If someone feels powerless and cares deeply, but has no actions available to them it feels pretty bad to say, "they don't really care." Like, what are the options? Running for office themselves on a third party ticket? I can't think of anything that isn't a massive investment of time, money, and energy. Yes, they could get involved with organizations like the DSA and try to grow mutual aid networks and voting blocks. They could get involved with unions and push for more collective power. But those are also big time commitments.
