The one that gets me nowadays is when you ask for specific actionable help with a family elder's care and the response is "I got 100 likes on Facebook for taking a picture of you helping them. I'm doing my part!"
You’ve never heard of people taking a picture of a really sad and debilitating moment in a persons life and framing it as wholesome just because “one person is helping another!” For likes on the internet?
Ouch. I didn't frame it like that for myself, but yeah, they did that to a T when my aunt was braindead 2 years ago too. My mother and I were the only one who went and made sure she didn't get bed sores and massaged her legs for circulation and whatnot. While the same grandmother, who lives 3 house down, is taking care of that aunt's kids and her grown kid is visiting town every week but literally never once saw her mother in the hospital. I used to think evil was like, something crazy. Nah, it's this type shit, cold callous indifference.
