Too people just want to be seen to be concerned, to be supposedly active, to be doing something about the problems. They wear their silly ribbons, yet continue living their lives doing absolutely nothing about any of this.
Like you rightly say - what about all those innocents being droned in these countries? Oh, listen to that - silence. Their care factor ends when there is no applause to be had, and no ego trip to receive. Mass society and mass culture is sick.
Glad to know other people get it.
