Because being proud of lack of empathy and just ... humanity is pretty fucked up?
So beyond a general sense of "these things suck and I emphasize, but I don't have time to think about it", there is really not much else you should do beyond that if your not actually going to do anything about it other than read some media, feel some emotions and have opinions about something you have remote to zero experience in and zero power or desire to actually do anything about it.
And after that one, you have the other 100'000 small and large travesties to process.
By letting them decide what you care about, you've delegated your decision-making.
I think that's fucked up.
Also everything the other commenter said is right.
