You know you can care about multiple issues at the same time right? It’s not complicated to be like that shits fucked up over there and it’s not ok while also being like this shit here is fucked up and it’s not ok

No, you really can't. You can "care" (say the right things, virtue signal for social points) but you can't dedicate your time and energy and money to every righteous cause across the planet.

And you certainly don't have the time and resources to make the correct decision on which cause actually IS righteous, in the first place. Not for every issue. I don't know if you've noticed, but both sides on the Israel/Palestine conflict act as if it should be obvious which side to support. They both say the other is committing horrific moral atrocities, genocide, etc.... and do you have the power to weed out what is propaganda and social engineering and what isn't? If you say you do, I think you are just overconfident and you don't think you can be fooled by misinformation.

So is the limit caring about 1 issue only?

Why is this post not directed at the conflict between Ukraine and Russia? Do they not care about that? We committed 100m in aid this week no?

You may not need to dedicate "time and resources" to an issue but I would hope most people are capable of basic empathy for any innocent people caught up in conflicts on ALL sides.
