This is called the burning issue trap. The burning issue trap is the belief that there are compelling social issues that require your participation. Some people feel good inside by pathologically enslaving themselves by assuming a responsibility to observe, judge, and correct any social problems.
There is utter confusion of people in college that have not had to struggle in their lives. The problems is that they don’t understand the real world and thus don’t comprehend the difference between real and theoretical problems.
2 weekends ago, I was a birthday party - and talked to a very nice grad student in Math. He was genuinely interested in world affairs - but had no real experiences. So what he really knows comes from formal/informal campus discussions.
So very concerned about inclusion etc. and seemingly less worried about people around the world struggling to put food on the table. He just did not understand real poverty around the world and real struggles.
He needs to be shook out of this mindset. But that wont happen
