I help my community by donating clothes and food, and I donate heavily to progressive causes and campaigns. I really don’t think reading every little bit of information about how the world is falling apart really helps me, and I reject the idea that’s connected to making the world better. If I had more money and could act at a global scale, maybe. But I don’t.

Yeah, comments like OP are so infuriating because ignoring the collapse of society doean't mean its not happening.

This is a very common response I get. People literally get angry when I say I don't follow the news/political infotainment cycle the way they do. You do you bro. I'm making the world better in a lot of ways already.

Wow, my favorite false dichotomy! Oh how I missed it so. The sheer beauty of the strawmanning, the amount of effort to willfully misinterpret statements! It's the perfect blend of self righteousness and reading comprehension failure! https://youtu.be/vjWA4e7U7_Y

I think what the world needs is people that constantly and consistently do small good deeds. Strongly acting on the currently trending topic causes pushback from the other side and ends in polarization. There are a few exceptions of course, natural disasters for example are very time sensitive.
