    I am not the world’s keeper. I do not have the responsibility, let alone the power, to help literally everybody.

    Responsibility without power is a form of subordination, and I’m not subordinate to those families that I don’t even know.

      I do not have the responsibility, let alone the power, to help literally everybody.

      Nor the willingness to help anybody but your own.

        anybody but your own.

        Because I actually have the power to help those. Unlike the rest of the world.

          I didn’t say a thing about power. It’s clear from your initial comment that it’s willingness, regardless of power.
