"Cherry picking issues that apply to them" is just another way of saying "reacting to the things that evoke empathy".

It's what nearly everyone does for any particular cause, for most things. It's largely what determines how people vote, to what charities they donate, and most decisions that are ultimately driven by how hard that button on their moral compass is being pressed.

It sounds all good and hardline angsty activist to project the notion that people are merely "pretending" to care about victims if they aren't equally driven to cancel everything across the board, but it's just another grandstanding statement with no real substance.

Morality is much more complex than that.

Which makes it odd that you're telling people what to do, and how they should approach this.
