"What's happening in Ukraine is very sad for those people, but it's a civil war that we have no business interfering in," Savage said to his audience, adding:
- I know some of you disagree with me.
The fact of the matter, however, is that most people don't care about very much anymore.
They only care about their own survival. In a way, I can't blame them.
When you have an out-of-control government, and when people feel disconnected from their so-called representatives, can anyone fault a man who says he only cares about himself?
At the very most, people care about domestic politics but not what's happening internationally.
The Roman historian Cato the Elder said that the average Roman didn't care what the legions were doing in Germania; they were only interested in "the pebble in the shoe."
In other words, they cared about the price of bread and meat, and the amount of taxes he had to pay.
Even in the age of the Internet, nothing has changed since Roman times.
