I agree with you, that part about detachment pisses me off too, especially with the way it's phrased and it's connotations. Letting go of things doest mean condemning or abandoning them. It's more like cutting your losses and moving on sort of thing. Buddhism, in it's core preaches apathy. If you don't care, you won't feel pain. A wise woman once said 'Apathy is death'

not really, people are assuming this is some difficult and inhuman thing when in reality more than anything is that it teaches people not to grasp at things which increase the suffering of the world, some like monastics attempt to give literally everything up in exchange for a life of jhana and study but it isn't necessary to benefit at all. hardly anyone is saying anything about compassion either which is another core tenet.
