An emotion divorced from its cause is basically what creates memes, and memes are routinely applied to people, things, and issues that they were never intended to be applied to. Reason becomes emotion, emotion becomes a meme, the meme gets applied to things that have to do with the original Reason, and frequently the meme goes full circle to directly contradict the original Reason. I gave a good example of that in another discussion where a meme that promoted diversity went full circle and ate its own tale.
I basically agree that apathy prevents us from working positively on a subject. And yet, apathy is sometimes the most positive thing that you can do. There is nothing that you can do to collaborate constructively with emotional predators. Walking away is the right thing to do.
Your reasoning is so backwards, I almost want to do a triple facepalm despite the fact that I don't have three hands.

Abusive emotionalism doesn't leave rational room for anything but apathy.
