Welcome to communism. A lot of westerners have this view that the chinese and russians are just unempathic for no reason. living under communism has completely transformed their society on both a cultural and genetic level. Truly "nice" people did not survive and certainly did not reproduce, barring few examples who are demographically insignificant. Universal kindness and mercy was beaten out of them... or rather, out of Us since western nations are rushing headlong into the same result.
Even though the chinese and russians replaced their communism with capitalism, the effects will take thousands of years to undo, or possibly never.
For people who are too dim to reflect on their own cognizance it comes off as "I am all out of fucks to give". They know they don't care anymore, but they don't realize why.
I am not sure that is a bad thing. This obsession with "good" has literally destroyed society, and has lead the rise of the Woke Cult. The ultimate result of obsession with good are simps, white knights, and virtue signalers. Moreover it has done near irreparable damage to the genepool to the point where I am concerned humanity might have already been Filtered and just doesn't know it yet.
As for giving up on "good"... well, to some extent I must confess it is true.
But a large part of it is not so much given up on "good" as matured from the brainwashing I received as a child, from the emotion based "if it hurts someones feefees it is wrong" into understanding that "by their fruit you shall judge them".
looking it up it appears I have independently rediscovered

Although the specific examples given by wikipedia are simp filtered of course. Like "boohoo violence bad". Violence can be good or evil depending on its consequences.
To give actual examples:
feminism is evil because its consequences are bad for everyone. Men, women, children all individually suffer. Humanity at large falls apart, society crumbles, and humanity's genepool is ravaged.
Alphabet people are evil because they lead to europe and america, a modern age reinterpretation of sodom and gemorrah. Something our ancestors knew and tried to warn us about. Where children are groomed and sexually mutilated in never before seen amounts.
