What about the relatability of given societies over and above those to which one has no relationship or affinity towards is incorrect, because it's the exact same scenario as in your microcosm but expanded to an international relations context. I didn't mention 'care', I mentioned relatability. People care a lot but relate little. That's the point I think.
Hell the relatability of states and their people's is one of the cornerstones of the neo-realist model of IR discourse and statecraft.
Ok, you just brainfucked me, which is kind of what I was going for, given that I don't know shit about the topic. I'll need to mull this over for a while. Thanks.
Or maybe it's because of the insomnia. Who knows.
