Hmmm maaaybe it's because of the immeasurable amount of human suffering amongst the civilians in that region? What the fuck kind of question is that??
Imagine not understanding suffering that isn’t directly impacting your life to such a degree.
Uh huh. So why THIS specific conflict? I never saw this much rage and posting and commentary for other issues of suffering like the Uyhgurs or however it's spelled. And this isn't what about ism. We could bring up what's gone on with South Sudan for a long time as well. Or we can bring up significant local issues for various commenters.
It sure seems people at large cared about Ukraine because they're mostly Caucasian and feel like a "western" country. People mostly care about this Israel Hamas issue it seems for religious reasons or to take a political stance (which is indirectly deeply rooted in religion).
I have empathy and sympathy for many things that dont directly impact me. I don't have to for literally everything. Not being sure if I care about THIS conflict, or being skeptical at the extreme coverage it gets, doesn't mean I'm devoid of give a shit.
