I figured this out during the pandemic

I don’t think I’ve encountered any of those behaviors, except maybe rarely in like middle school. Those are not healthy, prosocial behaviors, nor are they commonplace.
Then check your privilege before judging those who experience this kind of stuff.

Oh there is further division.
There’s also those who understand that they care too much for their own good and try not to.
And then there is those that are good at finding out what others care about and using it against them.There are also those who care too much about others’ good (sort of). Codependency.

I don’t care about others, therefore I don’t care who they love, what they do with their bodies, how and where they live their life as long as it doesn’t impact my choices and my life.
Would I be in that second camp then?
Would you stand up and speak up on someones behalf if injustice was done to them and they couldn’t defend themselves?
I know it’s a bit harsh and just a different interpretation but one could easily read your stance as “at least i don’t actively hurt others, so dont shame me for not caring about them as long as it doesn’t affect me”
Again a bit harsh i know but maybe worth thinking about 乁( •_• )ㄏ

In front of me? Yes, but i wouldn’t go volunteering saving oppressed people.

Yep, familiar with that phrase. I’ve also heard stories of people “robbing” banks for a dollar just so they could get put in jail for that bare minimum of food and shelter (and idk if it’s true but the unhesitating believability of it alone is a damning indictment). So really, by withholding food and shelter from free people, we’re incentivizing criminal activity.
Do these law & order, fiscal conservative republicans want to lower the crime rate and reduce spending or not?
Unfortunately I think a lot of these people are like that fox news host… “Just kill em all.”

Read the Law of One. It explains it well.

Seems like to an extent you do care

If you don’t care about others you don’t deserve to be cared for. It’s not complicated.

I agree on this. But I feel all of civilization is like this, and that I should not care about it, because I didn’t get even basic treatment, but had all the responsibilities of a healthy person.
Why would I care about something so cruel, so twisted?

Society fails a lot of people. That’s not your fault, and you shouldn’t feel bad about feeling that way. That’s society’s fault.

Sounds rational to me. I’ve also observed many who purport to “care so much”, but it’s really a veil to dodge accountability or otherwise manipulate or pull various social levers. I steer clear of those that are quick to play social games, including shame, to gain status or get their way.
I’ll take rational, well-reasoned, and balanced empathy over manic, performative forms of “care” any day of the week. i.e.: It’s nowhere near a simple binary, those that care and those that don’t. Deceitful opportunists infect all demographics.

Do you care if they’re locked up or killed because of who they love, what they do with their bodies, or how and where they live their life?
That’s the type of care we’re talking about.

I really don’t know how to convince people they should care about others.
I don’t know how to teach empathy.
What I do is point out how others oppression can also effect them and the people they care about.
With immigration for example a lot of people don’t care that the immigrants don’t get any due process before being deported / locked in a concentration camp.
if you can convince them this can also effect them you just might be able to get them to care.
