Because most of us have our own problems and don't feel responsible for the lives of others.
Now imagine if you lived in a society where someone gave a shit about your problems. And maybe they even have the skills and resources to fix them more efficiently than you would. Or not, does it matter, theyre willing to help.
That would be wonderful but that's not what we're discussing.
It actually is. We all have problems. Humanity formed society to solve problems. Society has been hijacked (for a loooong time in many different ways) to extract value from others. Some people want to combat that.
Some "have their own problems to deal with"
No it was formed to exchange value.
If you can't understand the difference between "extracting" and "exchanging", that's the type of thing only a dictionary can help you with, sorry.
Reading comprehension, indeed "homie". Just re-posting quotes is not helping.
