It's.... A nuanced and good point. What you are suggesting is that there is a locality dimension here which is interesting and probably points to an important consideration. Even the follow up insight about agency and that the problem is we feel less able to solve these things is good. But I think that an over-emphasis on local events makes one less able to understand and deal with the things in their own lives as well. It leads to a sort of purposeful ignorance where we don't want to learn what is going on in the world so we are surprised when the consequences become relevant to us. If you don't know whats going on in Ukraine, you're going to be confused when your local Ukrainian friend is upset because a family member got killed
