One of my lib friends just excitedly started asking me if i was voting for biden and talking about policy and I am having a panic attack i don’t understand how they can be so fucking indifferent to the massacres and suffering I don’t understand it.

    They “know” but only in a technical sense. They’ve never bothered learning about the Palestinian people or their stories or their suffering, they just know abstract numbers and it’s really easy to dehumanize numbers. That’s also why they don’t seek out this information - they don’t want to be exposed to anything that challenges their ideas and the media is helping them do exactly that.
