Yeah, I can agree with that sentiment somewhat as well. But we've reached a point where apathy is dangerous, in my opinion. I mean we have all hell breaking loose in cities nationwide, as well as entire ecosystems being set to flame. Although, I'm hearing conflicting reports about the latter with regards to whether these massive forest fires are arson or simply random fires; it's definitely been an irregularly dry and hot summer for the west coast.
I'm not saying that people need to necessarily dedicate all of their attention to current events and what's happening politically, but when it's reached a point where we're seeing major media companies and big corporations advocating for the violence and anarchy taking place, then I feel apathy is only further adding to the overall harm.

I feel the point being made in a famous quote from WW2 is seeming to fit more and more with today:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
– Martin Niemöller

At what point will people begin to recognize that this already involves them and the future of those they're leaving behind? I'm painfully aware of the disappointments in life, which is exactly why I speak up when I see things that concern me – because I don't want the young in my family to experience more than I had to.
