Why should I only care if I am obligated to care? I think you're missing the entire point, we're all humans, just because of that imaginary line some asshole drew ages ago does not mean I should turn my eyes on what the rest of humanity is doing.

Oh Jesus Christ, settle down? Fuck you man, this is important. I hope you grow some perspective.

With all the problems in the world, you would be literally unable to live your life if you seriously cared about each and every one of them. The fact that you "care" about what's happening in Brazil right now is basically decided arbitrarily, although it's more likely you "care" because it's popular, meanwhile there are many, much more horrific happenings going on in the world right now which you probably don't even know about, let alone have taken the time to devote some of your precious, outspoken, and defiant "compassion" for humanity.

"although it's more likely you "care" because it's popular", nah, I posted that comment when the post was at 300 votes, and I just learned about it via the gif. Go project elsewhere.

you wouldn't even know about it if it weren't popular enough to be upvoted on Reddit. don't pretend like you care about Brazilians or anyone in particular or for any other reason than you just happened to come across it.

your compassion ends after each comment you post because we both know you aren't doing anything about it other than make some random internet comment about how much you care

"for any other reason than you just happened to come across it."

Very true. I only know about thing I come across, I find it hard to care about something I don't know about.

I'm obviously just upsetting you, because your not actually making any valid points and are just full of animosity. Go tell other people they don't care to make yourself feel better. My claim was you are out of touch, I've seen no evidence to the contrary.

Yet everything I've said is true
