There are plenty of issues you're not marginally informed and actively acting on. You're not judging yourself poorly for being uninformed and non-proactive on those topics, specifically because you're not aware or interested in them.

You can currently argue that the topics you're marginally informed are "more important" than the ones you're not, but how would you honestly know? Can it be objectivelly substantiated?

If you just see what happens in reality, it is that different people is focusing on different issues, oftentimes pushing for different or even opposing goals, and everybody believing their focus is more important than the others.

Also, you get a lot of people without any focus outside their physical scope, living perfectly fulfilling lives, which are the ones your parent poster refers as the "victims" being "blamed".
