So you stop caring about something as soon as a specific number of other people don't care?

"Yeah I used to care about homeless people, but then one day I was like 'wait why do I even care', `nobody` in LA seems to care"

If you truly care about something, you care because of your values and you care regardless of what others say or do.

Sorry dang, which part is name calling tho?

I'm a nobody but I didnt see anything wrong with the comment. Its pointing out the illogical idea of caring for a cause only because others cared. I'm sure this is a big problem today with social media. People (generally speaking) just want to fit in, they have no real motivation to support a good cause at their own expense.

Thanks for the feedback. I specifically targeted the reasoning and not the person, I thought it was odd that it's still considered 'name calling'.
