you wish fewer people were horrified and outraged over active genocide?
Even if genocide happens as you say, I don't see any attention to other genocides in the world on there, only to this specific war
Because it's the most recent world event. Were you not seeing constant discussions about Russia/Ukraine when that first started?
Nobody ever mentions Africa is what's weird to me.
There’s a very dark joke in the international community.
How do you move an article about 50k people being killed in a natural disaster from the front page to page 15?
Start the article with “Yesterday in Africa…”
Lemmy wasn't as popular back and even tho it had it's share of users, I wasn't on it, so I can't really say how it was on Lemmy
I have seen discussions about Russia-Ukrainian but I haven't seen them at all outside of the political communities on Lemmy, and they seem limited to certain communities.
And is it the most recent world event?
This is a logical fallacy. For example just because the Uighur issue receives less present attention (because it's not NEW) doesn't make the latest attempt at genocide more acceptable.
We’re not sure how much is real and how much is Western propaganda. It’s not like our own nations don’t lie to us.
Western propoganda? I'm surprised you're on kbin and not on lemmygrad
You’re so aware! /s because it’s needed. WMD and Iraq. Gulf of Tonkin. Plenty more.
People in the US are concerned about this genocide because we're paying for it. The US sends Israel billions of dollars every year. This is our tax dollars at work.
