As far as I’m aware, children aren’t being shot in the head and forcibly starved by an occupying force in Cuba. But to say that folks don’t care is clearly inaccurate.

Anyway, here's actual evidence of elected officials contradicting your anecdotal narrative:

conjuring empathy in others is not easy, but it is worth it.

and I don’t want coworkers that are okay with killing children in Gaza or conducting mass surveillance and calling it a “different world-view”.

being honest and vulnerable about being a shitty person does not beget or earn you any kind of mutual respect. we are simply not the same.

Wake the fuck up and stop trying to whatabout your way to a more comfortable mental state.

Direct action rocks!

Collective bargaining vis-a-vis unionization allows workers to more effectively push back against bullshit like RTO mandates and mass layoffs. They help reign in the massive pay packages to executives who directly benefit from laying folks off. And there's a reason why companies monitor internal communications and engage in retaliatory actions against employees for even discussing organizing. Yes, that's technically illegal under US labor law. But corporations do not care and will accept the risk of a non-guaranteed fine to make an example and enforce a chilling effect for other workers.

The fact that unions aren't a perfect solution to the overwhelming might of capitalist interests at each and every workplace does not mean that unions are bad, worthless, or not on the side of the individual worker. They are designed to make the tilt of power more equitable.

The Texas state government overrode city ordinances and attempts by private businesses to enforce masking for in-store shopping. Simply saying it was wide open like the rest of Texas is extremely inaccurate. Here’s the EO which refutes, like, every single weird point you’re trying to make:
