How I wish that were true! Most people, young and old, really don't care at all.
"Don't care" in the form of getting out and proactively doing something, yes.

"Don't care" in the form of clicking a preorganised button ("sign online petition", "retweet this travesty", "join this voluntary botnet"), plenty of folk care that way.
