    I mean yeah, this is their Trail of Tears moment. It’s fucked up that the world always waits for the genocide to be over and then says “oh yeah, terrible tragedy, if only we had done something.” The big obvious fucking difference is that we all were here present witnessing this one and we did nothing. I’m not blaming the population on this one, we all have our own problems to fucking focus on due to capitalism distracting us with, y’know, barely surviving.

    But that’s always been the case as long as I’ve lived, and until we fucking do something drastic like completely overthrowing current power dynamics, none of us call the shots and we’re all aware of it, and real systemic change is just a pipe dream as it currently stands.

    So yeah, you’re right, we’re all gonna be upset about the whole thing while we continue to go to our jobs and consume our food, water, and media, and do absolutely fucking nothing. Because we’re slaves, and slaves don’t speak up until living under slavery isn’t worth it, and dying for the freedom of the future is all that’s left.
