I think the existence of famine, homelessness, etc are for most part political problems. The point being that solutions will require massive restructuring on a societal level. I think at the end of the day what matters when it comes to change in the world is action. 'Care' is often a precursor to said action, but not always, so I suppose it's only really relevant in a limited capacity. The only reason I mentioned it in first place is to demonstrate why there is little support available for certain workers despite the harsh and detrimental conditions.

I don't actually like charities or NGO's either. I'd also rather give my money to a homeless person on the street any day over those organisations for the very reasons you lay out.

I think that a lot of people do honestly care about all the issues you listed.

As for what it actually looks like, well, that depends. In the best case, care toward something entails action. In the case of those issues, various actions which materially affect those issues on varying scales, from signing petitions or giving to charity to taking in refugees or other direct action.

Yes people lie about caring for various reasons. But I think a feeling of genuine care toward something compells people into action to some degree. Most people may fall short of self-directed effort to seek and find effective action. However possesing a passive feeling of care may make someone more likely to take up the oppertunity when it arises, they may throw change in the charity box when they see one, they may sign up to a protest when asked, etc.

You are hilarious. Positioning a lack of access to a type of food someone is fond of as more cruel than life (and death) in a factory farm.

I'd say you cannot be serious, but in actuality that arugment is emblematic of the age old foundation of every unjust relation: the idea of an intrinsic right to domination over others. Under that paradigm, the only tyranny you're capable of recognising is the deprivation of your right to opress whichever others are in the crosshairs this time.

Also, your spiel on slaughterhouse workers is a non-sensical ramble. Firstly, none of those other jobs are entirely centred around non-stop horrific acts from 9 til' 5. Secondly, the horrific acts are not comparable, not even if you believe killing animals for food is justified. Vets and Doctors are ultimately helping humans and non-humans. Slaughterhouse workers are abusing, harming and killing animals for a commodity to be sold. It's a fucking horrible job, you wouldn't want to do it. Which is exactly why there are no support structures, the only people willing to take the job do so because they have no choice, a good portion of precarious immigrant workers and even prison labourers are involved. Do you seriously think anyone cares what trauma they go through?
