I feel when Bucha happened in Ukraine still a lot of people were shocked and outraged. But somehow this extreame achievement of the human race to formulate human rights and at least try to defend them is withering away.

  • Genocide in Gaza, meh.
  • Genocide in Nagorno-Karabakh whatever.
  • Genocide in some African country again? They always have some genocide going on there
  • Genocide in Xinjang? Look they are dancing in the propaganda videos, how bad can it be?
  • UK sending refugies from all over the world to Rwanda? They categorized it as a save country so what’s the Problem?
  • Guantanamo is still open? We haven’t heard much about it for years, probably everything is ok there

I could go on and on. So is it just the times now that nobody wants WWIII so we are just looking the other way? Even worse, if you want to protest for human rights, you get into trouble, not just in dictatorship countries, but in Germany, US, etc.

      Agreed.

      Like, it’s like trying to get people to care about every single charity out there to donate to. We just do not have that money to throw around, otherwise we could.

      We can’t truly care about every single cause in the world because that’d be sacrificing our personal self-care and the care of others in our circles. If we do, we’ll just fall further down in our pits to where it’ll be inescapable where beforehand, we barely kept our head above water.

      And Americans need to be fighting more on their home turf for a change. We can’t change things over in countries that are across vast oceans with different policies, with different cultures, different ways of life .etc
