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.

    What? People are willing to let Trump win (which would be its own entirely separate set of human rights violations) over the genocide in Gaza.
    You must not be paying enough attention because your first point can be easily disproven by visiting any major news source and viewing the stories about the mass protests on college campuses all over the county right now.

      Yes but that’s mostly because Israel is involved, which is a white colonialist state with whom the west are heavily involved economically. Especially the US.

      The other countries OP mentioned get no attention however.

      A lot of them were “disappointed” when the estimated death toll got reduced. That tells us who those people really are. Very likely, they’re Russia bots that are using the events in Gaza as a distraction to their war in Ukraine.

      The world could care less if it is Trump or Biden. But your supposition that stopping one genocide supporter is rooting for another fascists is not the worlds fault, but your own. Democracy as you still would call it.

      Stop trying to claim to be the police of the world, while at the same time also sell weapons to the half of the world including despotic regimes and genocidal ones. A very good business model, but the world is seeing through it.

      We all know where your priorities lie, and it isn’t Human Rights.

      Yes, the protests got more news time than the actual ethnic cleansing. Tells a lot about the populace.

      It’s fine that genocides are happening over other countries with your blessings, But hur dur… we… we don’t want what we do to other countries happening to us. 😭

      It’s about time you face consequences of your actions.
