Every day we are inundated with things we are supposed to care deeply about.\u00a0 Of course we should care about big issues like climate change and human rights violations, but I’m not talking about those kinds of things.<\/p>\n
I’m talking about the much smaller issues that manage to get folks really riled up.\u00a0 Of course we are all going to care about different things because we all have our own life’s worth of history and experiences to base our views on.\u00a0 But no one can care about everything deeply without having a nervous breakdown.\u00a0 So, here are few issues that, while very important to some folks, I just don’t have the energy \/ desire to get worked up about:<\/p>\n
#1 Women not being allowed to be topless in public.\u00a0 \u00a0I cannot get excited about this supposed oppression of women.\u00a0 I don’t think this is the work of the patriarchy that must be abolished for women to be free.\u00a0 I don’t want to have to buy that much more sunscreen.<\/p>\n
#2 Team mascots that are “offensive”.\u00a0 This was a big issue 20 years ago or so – many high schools and colleges with mascot names like Indians, Fighting Sioux, etc.\u00a0 changed their names to something else.\u00a0 It seems this topic has come up again in some places.\u00a0 But this push was led almost entirely by white people then, and it now as well.\u00a0 Actual Native Americans didn’t \/ don’t care.\u00a0 So I’m not going to either.<\/p>\n
#3 Anything involving this new breed of “social media influencers”.\u00a0 These people who live for likes and seemingly have no skills other than posting selfies.\u00a0 \u00a0 And yes, I would include anyone named Kardashian in this group.\u00a0 They aren’t trying to raise awareness of any cause.\u00a0 They aren’t trying to educate you.\u00a0 They are just trying to get you to like their pictures and then go out and buy whatever stupid crap someone pays them to pretend they like.\u00a0 Or even worse, trying to get YOU to pay for the crap they actually want but can’t get for free.\u00a0 No thank you.<\/p>\n
What issues that your friends care about just leave you cold?\u00a0 What popular topic do you find dull?\u00a0 Let’s talk about it!<\/p>\n
