It disgusts me at a deep primordial level that so many cultural norms in the west are rooted largely in one great overriding sentiment: caring about things is for stupid weaklings, and apathy is smart and for the strong.
Fucking same. I always talk to people about individualist mindsets vs communalist mindsets. We are just so brainwashed into being individual that we (see:white westerners) don’t have community, don’t care about other people, don’t care for our elders…And that’s just it. I hate it
And then there are bullshit things you’re expected to care about, but ultimately just reinforce the status quo. Defend but if you use that same to talk about the US exploiting people in another country for our amusement, all of a sudden, that’s cringe.

Omfg me too, it makes me passionately angry to the point of inarticulate screaming.
