Except that it really pretty much is. Just seems like you're picking an easy target so you can feel warm inside without actually having to make any lifestyle changes to support your beliefs.

Okay. I'll go out and try to make a difference. Let's make a sorted list of the worst events in the world so I can get outraged in the correct order and know which things I shouldn't be giving a shit about.

It's not that I'm hung up on other things ranking more highly on the atrocities scale, my criticism is of people choosing to get outraged about something where they can't really make a difference as they probably don't at all contribute to the problem, rather than finding something (however large or small) that they consider negative where they could make a positive difference (however large or small), and taking action there.

Aaaaaaand at the end of the day I'm not really trying to say "pick something else to make a huge deal about and go out and save the world" so much as "please stop making a huge deal about this one thing since it all just seems to be for show."
