I'd say flippant or facetious, not necessarily indifferent.

- kstrauser 2y agoGood point. I've made some dark jokes about it all with friends, not because it’s funny or we don’t care, but because we care a lot, there's a lot of fear, and we don't know what we can do to help yet. It’s dark humor of the battlefield or emergency room kind.
- wickedsight 2y ago> we don't know what we can do to help yet I think many of us do know what we could do... The possible consequences of doing those things, however, are too big to actually do them. Most of us live pretty comfortable lives and aren't (yet?) directly impacted by what's happening, so it's not worth it. With people already seemingly being deported for speaking out against the administration, doing anything more than using dark humor (like protesting) is already becoming pretty risky. Edit: I'm not trying to be judgemental, by the way. I'm just observing. I'm also one of the people who is just posting on the internet about this and talking among friends.

- wickedsight 2y agoYeah, I'm not a native English speaker and was looking for a word that matched my feeling. Those two, with a splash of indifference, is what my gut feels.
