- bowsamic 2y agoAre you joking? Japan?
- verisimi 2y agoYou do understand, that government really can't care, right? People, animals can care. An institution cannot. It is a social construct. It is an anthropomorphising projection to attribute care or hate or thoughtfulness or any other emotional human attributes onto social constructs.
- dijit 2y agoHumans are just collections of cells, bacteria and some electrical impulses; all vying for survival in a hostile world. By your definition, anything made up of anything can’t “care”. Corporations can care, they usually care a lot about for example profits. Governments can care, the ones you’re accustomed to might care a lot about the image of the country or their own image; some can be interested mostly in the survival and prosperity of the country and its citizens though. Politicians, CEOs, Executives etc; can be self serving. Similar to our own bodies cells: those can be self-serving too. We call that situation cancer.
