I help my community by donating clothes and food, and I donate heavily to progressive causes and campaigns. I really don’t think reading every little bit of information about how the world is falling apart really helps me, and I reject the idea that’s connected to making the world better. If I had more money and could act at a global scale, maybe. But I don’t.
That's wonderful and I'm glad you do. The majority of people who make this argument are liberals who like to give themselves an excuse to not have to get up and do anything though. They convince themselves they are powerless when the reality is the opposite.
