I wonder how you can have a cohesive society when people can close themselves off so easily? Maybe we would benefit if we had civics classes in school that illustrate the problems with being both in a "society" and able to imagine yourself as hermetically sealed and self-reliant--both are not even close to true in a larger sense.
"As long as it/he/she/they are the only ones effected by he/she/him/them, that's fine with me as long as its NOT ME OR MINE!" they might believe.
The problem is that this is not a sound way to reason about one's relationship to society and the World. There are examples that, when particularly malevolent ideologies take root and gain more power, they gradually include more and more people and groups in their list for persecution, imprisonment, torture, etc. and the stakes for being an enemy go up gradually and become more inclusive.
In that sense, not being concerned that, even if you are the Perfect Citizen as far as x, y, and z go, the goal post can and do move around if you allow this kind of tyranny to continue. You could eventually be designated as an undesirable for not being x enough or too y and off you and yours go. This did happen in Nazi Germany and other tyrannical, violent regimes and a false and even delusional sense of privilege and security actually fuels the engines of atrocity in cultures. For some, the outcome can be a horrible and unexpected surprise.
I mention that to people I know and it would really help our culture to emphasize the interconnection we all have and how not protecting the least among us and overlooking egregious behaviors by leaders, (for our own benefit) can eventually bite back hard and mercilessly. After that, it is far too late for the enablers and apathetic. Our children and, if there are any, future generations would benefit by knowing how this works. We can do our best to apply preventative measures in order to avoid great suffering.
