Maybe attention isn’t the right word, basically I feel like you don’t actually support the cause, you just want to pretend you do.

The people who actually care are willing to take those punishments and the sheer fact that they are willing to do so is what shows they care.

Not showing yourself, shows a lack of dedication to your cause, you aren’t willing to sacrifice, other than some time, you won’t have any permanent consequences.

It’s a “put your money where your mouth is thing.”

They want to pretend they care to make themselves feel like they are doing something, but not sign their name for the cause.
