I don't think that just because some people don't abandon Reddit now means they're apathetic or desensitized in general. There's so many things wrong with the world and not everyone can and will fight everything all the time. People have different item on the top of their lists.

I'm certain you are doing things in your life others would be flabbergasted at like you are here. For example: Do you eat meat, tuna, stuff with palm oil? Do you have pets? Do you drive a car? There's people out there who'd call you apathetic to the problems these things cause.

I'm certainly not a saint 100% of the time because if I tried I'd fall apart. Like everyone else would.

I think the biggest takeaway here is time. I have a massive to-do list and priority list, and realistically I don't have the time to research every single product I buy, what services I subscribe to, nor do I really have time to volunteer because I'm working so much to keep myself and my wife afloat. I do my damnedest to make informed decisions on products I buy, but at the end of the day, there is not such thing as ethically sourced gasoline. I'm down to do something or anything to help change society, but every option at the moment either gets you locked up, made a mockery, or made a martyr.
