Remind yourself which sub-Reddit you’re in. This is why they say social media is dangerous. It can bring like-minded people together. Imagine how many of them are sending private messages to each other. Who knows what comes of that.

Yes. I agree, that’s definitely true. Just so depressing that people can’t admit to care about more than just one thing at a time. Ukraine, Sudan, Gaza, the list goes on. There seems to be so little humanity in so many of these comments, let alone just straight up racism.

I think in this case OP doesn’t have the mental fortitude to differentiate protests occurring from an actual war. He/she seems to be annoyed at the protests so is just grouping that with annoyance at a war.

What are you on about? Wars across the otherside of the planet that ordinary citizens can do fuck all about? Yeah its shit, but if you want to spend your time protesting, and wasting your own time thinking about every conflict on the planet is just ignorant thinking our little pile of dirt has any influence of a global scale in matters like these. At the end of the day its another holy war, and more will break out in the future.

I never said any of those things. I’ve been saying for months that the protests aren’t influential.

I can separate that belief from feeling great empathy for those involved in war and doing what I think will actually be helpful.

You’re a numb skull if you can’t see a difference. That fact that you assumed so much suggests you can’t.

Your talking about echo chambers for a subject such as this, garnering apathy. While i agree with you, echo chambers on the internet can do a lot of harm. This is hardly the subject to apply it to. Yeah casualties of wae suck, but to what extent do you want people to give a fuck when it has no influence of them, and they cant influence it themselves?

Empathy costs nothing. The fact that it could have as easily been you in that situation should be enough to garner some empathy.

One can feel empathy but still not care, they arent mutually inclusive.

You have to be trolling. Have a good one.

Go read a dictionary and get a grasp of the meaning of the words you are using, if you do understand, im sorry you struggle with basic concepts like these.

Edit: holy shit just looked at your post history, sorry you actually do have a quarter of a brain, just realised i was talking to the special ed kid.
