    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.

    It’s better to be honest to yourself that if you don’t do anything about it it means that you don’t care

      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. I only pretend to if there is something to gain.

        This is like the polar opposite of virtue. It gives me a different perspective

          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.

          Edit: but on a serious note, I think you’re already hard on yourself and maybe we should let up. I think in a way you’re instigating this to get attention, which I am not bothered by, I just want to point out that there’s a need here that has to be fulfilled.

            Okay lol, how am I hard on myself? Projecting…

            I am not really built like most people. I don’t have some kind of self image that can be harmed or damaged. The only common denominator is lack of care so to say which is interesting and I only got to fully see it through psychedelics. It’s rather entertaining to delve into your psyche and dissect it, it’s fun. And fun is my number one interest and it’s really not easy to fuel my fun meter constantly.

              I mean at this point the most unbearable thing I can do to you is show empathy. And yeah I am too hard on myself, so maybe I recognize it when I see it.
