My biggest complaint about society is housing costs. That's bigger than just my jurisdiction, but affects my jurisdiction so I guess I should care about it? Recently I got into a political argument with family. They started it by talking about a school district policy in a school district 2,000 miles away. Things were said I wanted to challenge and so I got involved in the argument. Only afterwards did I realize how strange it was for us to be arguing about the policies of a high school 2,000 miles away. So you're right in that regard, most of what we think and argue about is far from our sphere. I decided in any future arguments like that I want to clearly establish whether we're arguing over a general principle or specifics. Otherwise it's too easy for the conversation to wander between the two. And again, I'm not concerned about the specifics of some distant state, though I may have beliefs about general principles.
