Interesting, and rather irrelevant question.
Fairly similar to one I have encountered a few thousand times in the last half century: "What do you mean, you don't vote? What if everyone didn't vote?"
Both of these pre-supposes that the behavior of anyone else is predicated on mine (viz. they will not act until I do, and then only to imitate me), which of course is absolute nonsense.
I'm extremely careful concerning matters where my action has an effect.
With matters where nothing I can possibly do, or say, have even the slightest effect - not so much.
Or does anyone believe that if I throw away my car keys the planet will change?
