Most are just trying to put food on the table.

Apathy in action isn't always "chosen", but instead can be "forced" via circumstance.

Apathy in active n does.not necessarily.mean apathy in thought.

I think people care, we're just trained into patterns of learned helplessness and isolation over generations.

There were large swathes of people who resisted during the 19th and 20th centuries, they were systematically murdered en masse. I bet it has happened many times over the centuries.

Sometimes I wonder if we've bred ourselves into either loyal obedience or dispassionate compliance because everyone else was always killed by the first group while being ignored by the second.

Or maybe it's just me 🤷‍♂️

I do what I can in terms of voting and whatnot, otherwise I try not to think about it too much.
