New socially acceptable ways to say “I don’t give a crap”.
I disagree. If I'm being honest, I care too much, but I'm overwhelmed by a combination of sadness, anger and fear. I have no idea where to start to fix our societal problems. Anyone who sticks their neck out gets their head cut off. Look at what they're doing to Assange for exposing the truth. Every president since Nixon has been a fucking war criminal.
Hence people falling back to “I don’t care” as a defense mechanism. The world is too big, and there’s too much awful happening, to emotionally invest in all of it. Not and stay sane. It’s so much easier to narrow focus to your own life and pursuits, and let everything else be what it is.
And so we get these useless platitudes, because “I don’t care about that” can be both true and socially unacceptable at the same time.
