true. I guess im learning to accept doing nothing can be better sometimes. If i tried to get involved, id probably only make things worse. I guess i have to leave it to the experts and those with the power to make real change, i think?
im most pissed about american government seeing this literal genocide and even f-ing praising israel. and we cant really do much about it. its a politics game. americans have deals with israelis so they wont bother telling them to stop until israel takes a step too far. presumably beyond Middle East
Palestine is currently experiencing a genocide committed by the US with unwavering support of all of the US' allies. The invasion of Ukraine, vile and inhuman as it is, is not worse than genocide that you seem to want people to shut up about.
Genocide isn't a contest, We both agree the government can and should be doing better in the respective area but going against each other is pointless and counterproductive to both our goals.
I still think it was a mistake for all of Europe to stay out of the war. A No-Fly zone instituted, even, would've been okay. What we're doing instead is pussy shit. Meanwhile, when it comes time to support ethnic cleansing and genocide, oh yeah then the West is SUPER into it
Your insistence on not talking about it actively harms the victims. Calling people who refuse to accept genocide "twitter toxicity" is very emblematic of your hollow politics and lack of morality.
Refuse to accept genocide you use the things happening in Palestine to downplay what's happening in China. Please this is the most Twitter opinion I've ever heard please go away
Even then. where was this outrage over China and the Uyghurs/ christans and the like?
it was there.
the abusers at blizzard that suspended Blitzchung for saying revolution of our times. happened. the very same blizard guilty of sex abause covered up in game women.
The outrage was there. Your memory might be conveniently short, but that doesn't change the fact. Neither does it change the fact that the genocide in Palestine is being carried out at a scale and pace that make other contemporary genocides pale in comparison.
You are trying to tone down the oppressive totalitarian regime genocide and concentration camps of China because something bad is happening in palestine? Both things are bad you are absolutely unhinged
they have every right to talk about the genocide going on. please do its a massive issue and needs to be called. people are being starved. But it is quite accusatory.
I could say the same thing to anyone about the Uyghur situation.
but what could you have done?
a thing i felt like bringing up (and this is *not* a defense of genocide) is how mentally draining it can be for people to hear a prolonged stream of news and advocacy about matters like these. the fact that one year is enough for many to disengage is what makes genocide itself so terrifying.
yeah, im pretty sure we agree on the fact that those fooligans cant behave over there, theyre like two rival bullies in seats that are close to each other.
I don't support Israel but I'm just a person in the deep south I can't do anything there are no protests down here because they would absolutely just attack them. People are racist, homophobic and there is nothing I have the power to do other than tell people I support Palestine online.
We all resist in whatever way we can. Bring attention to online spaces. Educate those who will listen in daily life. Boycott what we can, when we can. There's a lot more ways of helping than just protesting and asking for it to end. We build community based on liberation for all wherever we are.

In fact people were calling the Hong Kong protesters as secret fascists. The screenshots and tweets are still up.
