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.

    Ah yes, privilege…tell me about it. Everyone is against it but we all strive to achieve it. What hypocrisy.

    It’s rich of you to talk so high and mighty, but what has your protest done so far ? People who can really make a change don’t care and laugh amused while you waste your days in the street.

    If people back in the french revolution only protested we’d still be starving and working the fields. Thankfully for us they didn’t really have any other option back then.

    The real change is not from outrage and protest, it’s from a demonstration of force. But that shit takes organization and motivation and energy and time, and. Nobody has any of that.

    Knowledge is burden, and you’re trying to convince me to know more and torture myself so you don’t feel so bad about knowing too much. It has nothing to do with helping others.
