Cute parable but most rely on child sweatshop labor. Users express "thoughts and prayers" level of care if pressed, but not take up a trend of sewing their shirts to spare kids they will never meet RSI.

Noting competition exists seems focused on the outcome of making money. An obligation that exists in an exploitative economy. Where's your concern for the provenance of such obligations?

Yeah. Every expression of concern is probably something like social desirability bias, appearance of concern while sticking with status quo real effort of zero change. Low effort rhetorical "care".

People express concern about global warming and drive off in their SUV. They're just parroting social script.

There's millions of people who do walk the talk. Lots of them do this in silence, without any kind of personal gains in social status.

This kind of faux-nihilistic pretension is peak irony - convincing oneself that no one actually cares to feel better about not caring.

    And millions more working against your theoretical "silent majority". It will take billions. Ratios are not there.

    Not saying I don't care. Am saying it will take actual change in agency of billions to make me believe the rhetoric.

    Thoughts and prayers are not cutting it is what I am saying.

    You go ahead, sit online repeating the same empty rhetoric and assure me your "thoughts and prayers" being cranked to 11 is meaningful effort.
