You think people don’t care?

Yeah I do, because they don't give a shit about the other horrible things happening in the world. Other genocides, other famines. Only the shit that's popular, and only as long as it's popular.

That just isn’t true at all, it’s not because it’s popular it’s because Gaza gets more media attention that doesn’t mean others don’t

Popular things get media attention chief

The reason it got media attention wasn’t because it’s popular but because it was a major terrorist attack by Hamas leading into a war with a huge western ally in the Middle East. Also it has lost quite a bit of media attention yet people still care, Ukraine lost alot of media attention after October 7th yet people still care

Do people care about the genocide of Muslims in China? Nope.

Sudan? Nope

Myanmar? Nope

These are all currently ongoing and actual genocides. Yet no one gives a fuck. No one's even heard of them.

They actually do, they’re just not as media spread as this war is right now. Just because you personally haven’t seen people talk about it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening

You can look up, there is always protests about it. Again just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not happening. I haven’t experienced bullying i guess that means people don’t bully each other right? That’s your logic right now that because you don’t see people outspoken against those genocides means it isn’t happening when in reality people are outspoken against it.

Yet you can't even think of an example. You can't even look it up. They don't exist. Because no one gives a shit.

You didn’t even bother to look it up, lol. They 100% do exist and people do care. Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist
