If there is a local event; take in Texas the one kid who stabbed and killed another kid at the track meet. I don’t mean to be rude but unless I’m related to that event in someway… who or why care?
I’m not condoning violence, we all agree it’s unacceptable but that type of event is a localized event and not a nationwide issue. If I worry about that or other localized events from 1000’s of miles away then I feel like it’s wasted energy you can use to make your own community better.

The fact people care about things that happen far away doesn’t take away anything from their local community
I once got downvoted to hell just for asking who a person was, like I’m not American, why tf am i supposed to know who died in some specific state. I would understand if its something political, but why do some people expect you know everything local to their place.
What…
I got downvoted for saying stick cheese is unnecessary and you’re out hete saying you don’t care a kid got stabbed, that’s wild
I almost feel like this is a direct response to my own comment on another thread 10 hours ago:

>Congratulations, you’re officially grappling with the problem at the core of living in the 21st century: Being bombarded with information constantly, more information in a day than people used to receive in a year, and then being expected to care about everything everywhere all at the same time, equally (while having absolutely no power to really do anything to help.)
>It’s exhausting and unfair.
>Some guy living in the desert somewhere in a hut who’s never even had electricity has no clue what’s happening anywhere further than a mile away, whereas I have to somehow give a fuck about some homeless guy that stabbed 3 people in another country 4,000 miles away just because my phone wanted to shove that into my feed. And now we’ve moved onto the next tragedy almost immediately.
>The trick is to learn to filter to what matters and ignore the noise.
It’s called empathy, you turnip
