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.
A lot of people are shocked and outraged about each. Look at the protests and encampments around universities. Similar to people having a finite amount they can donate, they have a finite amount of energy and focus to pay attention to and change.
One group making up bullshit reasons to kill another isn’t going to stop with Ukraine, Gaza, Xinjiang, etc. Even if there were major interventions and a global cooperative effort to ease those specific tensions.
My fight is focused on improving transit for everyone, keeping this planet from warming up too much, and keeping rich people from siphoning up every bit of liberty we have left.
