I feel like people often take something that’s generally true and attribute it to something specific about them.

11·5 days agoI feel like you haven’t been reading anything I’ve been saying. Idk man the people on here sure like to think I am but I’m pretty sure actual Zionist would hate me even more.
To myself I am free of any national, religious, cultural, or political ideology beyond that I want to end needless and avoidable suffering for all minds anywhere in existence. That includes all humans and even nonhuman minds on earth as well as minds anywhere else in existence. So if by your definition that makes me a Zionist then so be it but I don’t think a Zionist would agree with the above definition. In short call me whatever you want, it won’t change the above statement for me.

13·5 days agoMad? Not really. I’m sad there’s not enough coverage on other tragedies. Personally I would rather all of these tragedies end so I guess wanting the killings in Gaza to end and the killings elsewhere to end makes a dumb Zionist then I guess that’s how it is although I don’t think actual Zionist would agree with my views to free Palestine.

16·5 days agoI don’t think just talking about what’s happening literally is minimizing anything. All. Of these atrocities should end immediately. If that view makes me scum to you then I have bad news for you buddy.

15·6 days agoYou’re right, anything critical or controversial about China is actually false. It is indeed a utopia in which there is no human suffering whatsoever. Anyone who says otherwise is only spreading propaganda because they’re jealous. Only things critical or controversial about other countries are true.

12·6 days agoMostly that they don’t get much news attention at all, most definitely not in contrast to other tragedies.

14·6 days agoJust noting that a lot of human suffering seems to go unnoticed and what we choose to focus on particularly in the global news doesn’t seem related to the sheer amount of human tragedy but more so how financially influential something is, particularly towards the wealthier countries and regions.

17·6 days agoDude you can’t complain about something you’re doing yourself. If you haven’t noticed there’s a bit of sarcasm on both sides of the fence here. So this is a bit like the pot calling the kettle black eh?
Officially I’m not mentally enslaved by or beholden to any nation, religion, political ideology or culture. I wish all minds everywhere in existence experience less needless and avoidable suffering, not just human minds on earth.
Also no there are other tragedies happening and I do believe people ignore them mainly because it doesn’t mess with their money and that’s about the ins and outs of it. Either that or it’s not connected to the abrahamic faiths and all the wonders that’s brought humanity. Seriously there’s like too many abrahamic death cults trying to end the world. Also there is a vague brown (or browner) people are less human thing going on.

26·6 days agoI’m sure that was an honest apology. Anyways, didn’t your mom or dad or whoever raised you teach you any manners? We can have a discussion without calling each other names, you know like rational and civil adults.
To answer your question, it’s not just western news that is shy of these other genocides, its global news and well global news is global. Personally I think it boils down to money and influence. For example if there is country X who has zero influence internationally and is killing millions of people in its borders or even millions in country Y who itself has minimal international influence then the rest of humanity is mostly fine with it because it doesn’t affect their money.
Obviously Iran has a massive influence on oil and global trade so any issue there will get consistent global coverage. Similarly Israel and their greater Israel plan is destabilizing an entire region which similarly messes with global trade and commerce so that’s going to get a lot of attention.
In contrast to the above what’s happening in the Tigray region of Ethiopia generally doesn’t affect global commerce or threaten to destabilize a region that heavily affects global commerce.
Aka people don’t care about much unless it affects them personally generally speaking. All their virtue and moral signaling over one tragedy but not any other is kinda a farce.

33·6 days agoJust a question, how do you feel about legitimate criticism of China? Are they anti-china propaganda or just legitimate criticism? Now for the sake of the discussion just assume someone gave you X criticism of China and it’s legitimate. I don’t want you running from answering by bringing up other stuff. It’s called a hypothetical and I’m sure you can manage. We can start your new discussion after this one is finished.

412·6 days agoThere is Sudan, particularly the Darfur region in which non-Arab ethnic groups, such as the Masalit, Fur, and Zaghawa have been targeted for eradication by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Direct deaths from conflict 30,000 to over 150,000+. Indirect/Famine Deaths are estimated at 500,000+ (primarily children).
Myanmar (Burma), where the Rohingya Muslims are being eradicated by the The Myanmar Military. Initial Genocidal Campaign (2017) at least 9,000 to 25,000+ Rohingya deaths. Ongoing Post-Coup Civil War (2021–Present): Thousands more across multiple ethnic groups.
China (Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region) where the Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and other predominantly Muslim Turkic minorities are being eradicated by the Chinese Government. Death toll is inconclusive due to strict control of information by the Chinese government. There has been an 84% drop in natural population growth rates in predominantly Uyghur regions. Another point of importance is the consistent (relative to anywhere else on earth) surplus of human organs for transplant in China.
Ethiopia (Amhara and Tigray Regions) where the Ethnic Amharas (and previously Tigrayans) are being eradicated by the state security forces and various regional ethnic militias. Tigray War (2020–2022): Estimated 600,000+ deaths. Amhara Conflict (2023–Present): 7,700 to 10,000+ deaths.
For reference the Gaza genocide. Direct Violent Deaths: Over 73,000 Palestinians. Presumed/Indirect Deaths: 10,000+ missing under rubble; tens of thousands more from disease/starvation to date.
So it’s interesting to watch the global outcry for kinda only one of these genocides particularly given how horrific the incidents in the Tigary and Darfur region are. Its almost as if the global and western news doesn’t care about brown people.

54·6 days agoThere’s space for everything. There’s really no global news coverage shortage for Gaza. Amongst my peers it’s honestly the only genocide they are even aware of. They’re always a bit puzzled to hear it’s not the only one.
