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.
I agree with all the other examples you listed … but this one? “Meh”? Lemmy and really the general media won’t shut up about it.
If anything the question should be “Why don’t people care about human rights … unless it’s in Gaza?”
I don’t know, there really seems to be less Palestine news on Lemmy lately. Also, this likely depends on what sources one chooses to get the news.
I wouldn’t say that nobody cares, and most of the listed genocides do get attention now and then, it’s just too much for people, just as others said
