    Thats a strange thing to say. Even if the changes havent been dramatic where you live, it certainly will with time if we dont limit the damage done.

      Well I care but I don’t act so it means I don’t care. Writing on it on Lemmy isn’t ’caring about it’. It’s just virtue signalling

        Writing on it on Lemmy isn’t ’caring about it’. It’s just virtue signalling.

        It certainly isn’t virtue signaling when you post 4 times to a single post talking about how you do actually care but it isn’t misplaced like other people here. You’re actually here changing hearts and minds one conversation at a time.

          I am worsening my own image not bettering it. I am actually taking hit to my points or whatever or so called reputation on the site as I speak. It’s the opposite actually. I don’t really care about climate as I said earlier.

            Well the important thing here is you found a way to be humble about it all. Kudos on finding a way to live your truth in a way that allows you to ignore everyone else’s. I suppose that really is the opposite of virtue.

      Same thing for example with animals. If you just post online on TikTok or twitter oh poor critters while eating meat or wearing fur and not doing anything that means you don’t care. So I prefer not lying to myself about it. I don’t care.

      Workers rights in third world countries same thing. Didn’t do a single wallet voting? Then it means I don’t care. I am not going to virtue signal for fake points or clout. Action is caring, words are worthless deception.

      Is it clear what I am trying to convey? What I mean is all those communities like collapse or the like on Reddit they don’t really care about climate, poverty or any of it. They just use them to solve their mental health problems. Shift the blame and responsibility from themselves.

      Those who care are aplenty though probably not enough and are doing various volunteering work.

      Social media greatest tragedy is giving us the illusion that we are doing something. That we care.
      No. If you care you do. If you don’t do - you don’t care, you are just lying to yourself.
