The problem with ignoring the wealth of deeply tragic events occurring all over the world right now is that the source of many of them predicates our neoliberal-sanctioned way of life, with all of our excesses, a way of life of which we somehow feel deserving... Despite actively seeking ignorance of the destruction and oppression which provides our fancy little laptops and running shoes. Despite the refusal of most of us to meaningfully civically participate in a system which we have a moral duty to correct, even if it benefits us to leave it alone. A world theory is nice to have, but unless someone is engaging with this sociopolitical landscape and at least attempting to rectify the wrongs that fuel their lifestyles, it comes off as incredibly privileged for someone to be able to just turn off the sad news while the rest of the world has to live it.
