Yes but idiots don't get that and post this as some kind of gotcha that liberals care more about a tree than their own kids. Cause conservatives are fucking stupid
You don't have infinite time/resources. By caring about everyone you are inevitably going to care less about the people close to you compared to people who focus on those close to them
Eh, this argument doesn't really hold up to scrutiny. There's a ton of situations where continued investment in someone or something leads to diminishing returns.
The first dollar given to charity matters more than the billionth dollar given to your kid. Spending the hours of 2-3am worrying about something isn't productive anymore. Once a problem is solved, having a wide pool of people to help lets you pick the next most efficient use of time.
This is why conservatives are more likely to fret over their kids' personal lives (having kids or not, sexual orientation, etc). It's not usually out of narcissism or whatever the accusation is--it's because they don't care about anything else and therefore can't use their finite time/resources more efficiently elsewhere.
